Movie Trivia Schmoedown Chairman Kristian Harloff made a surprise appearance during our interview with the Fan League Four – Peggy Gubbins, Amaru Moses, Christina Vee, and Jacoby Bancroft – and he made a few announcements while he was on there. They are the following:
- The minor league will be a developmental league that is run separately and run by Brad Gilmore.
- There will be storylines and character work in the developmental league.
- He hopes to get it started as fast as it can, hopefully in March. He’s just waiting for it to be approved.
- When it comes to free agency, there will be windows for free agents to be signed. The team in last place will have the first shot at free agents. That manager can make an offer to a player who can then accept or decline it.
- Players that are in the developmental league can be brought up from the developmental league during these free agency windows.
- The developmental league will have its own name because it will be its own league with its own brand, similar to the NXT brand of WWE.
- The developmental league will be mainly on Twitch.
- He is going to avoid intra-faction matches (matches between two members of the same faction) as much as possible, even if there is a number one contender that should play.
- The loss of a point for a TKO won’t apply for intra-faction matches.
- The rulebook will be released to patrons on February 1st.
- The draft list is currently at 164+ people, and the final draft list won’t be released publically until after free agency is over.
- He will be revealing the prize for the winning faction on Friday.
