I vote similar pool. Here are some ideas, that maybe can be used, probably not all at once as that would be ridiculous.
-
If we reach end of season still with multiple participants still alive, then split pot. Perhaps pro-rated payouts based on strikes remaining at end of season.

Alternate weeks, where participants can only pick from NL or AL teams, but still not reuse teams. Small pool each weeks theoretically can make it tougher to pick great lineups based on schedule. Haven't fully thought out if this would have a material difference just throwing it out. A variant of this could be users can only pick from certain divisions. Like this week is "Central" teams, so you can pick from either NL or AL Central teams.

Consider a .500 week a strike. I'd be curious if the data, but this could actually make the survivor pool go super quickly.
I may keep thinking. Either way I think we should continue to do something.
I like these. I was thinking something along the lines of if you use a team in 1st place this week, you have to use a last place team the following week or something like that. Of course this would only be in play if we kept 3 strikes.
That's pretty drastic so maybe it should be if you use a team currently seeded in the playoffs, you have to use one seeded out of the playoffs the following week.

May be tough to follow for users. Like standings and seeding, especially as races wind down will change or can change mid week. I'll give it more thought though.

Good point. Something to consider.
