Here's a weird idea that popped into my head. How about if all league winners get to submit one player name to be included in the next offseason draft! (The name would be subject to review for decency, etc., and randomly placed in any league of the same country.)

But then again, do we want an influx of players with names like Baxter Maxter, Cool Dude, Chuck Persons...

But maybe there's some way to allow for some folks to get their special names in the game in a limited way that adds to the enjoyment without creating a weirdness, maybe contest based, maybe game based, maybe as a Supporter feature (all Supporters get to add one name every 2 years, for example)...

Anyone got ideas on how this could work as the next greatest feature?

We've done some contests where this was a prize in the past, and certainly may do so in the future.

I want to submit a player with the world's most common first and last names. He would be Mohammed Zhang. What sort of contest could let me do this?

One that we will develop at some point - we have some plans on the horizon and maybe I can shoehorn this into one of them.

That is no worse than lots of real BB names I have seen already.
