The first league was supposed to have set dates to play. That didn't work though.
I've been an advocate of timing the games somehow. One idea I liked was playing for an hour, scoring as many goals as possible. I like the 3 games at 20min each more though, sticks to tradition.
I also feel that if you're going to allow fixtures to be made up at any time before the league ends then there is no need for subs unless a team needs a permanent substitute player which would need to be a non-league player unless a team 'buys' a player from another team or a player becomes a free-agent.
Being able to make up games at any time before the league ends also nullifies forfeitures. If a team can't make up a fixture by the end of the league, they should forfeit the entire league.
With time limits, you can't give the forfeiting team 15 goal points as there is no guarantee that any of the games would've went to 5.
If there are true forfeits, and fixtures aren't allowed to be made up before the end of the league, then they should be limited to a set amount before ejection from the league.
