League restructure opinions

Postby Jaguars8907 » Tue Jul 03, 2018 6:06 pm

We're restructuring our league (in sig) into one of three setups. We have a poll open on our site, but I'm undecided on my selection. I'm curious to see everyone's opinion is on the three below, and whether or not they have worked in your leagues.

2 Conferences
* 6 teams each
* Top seeds from each get 1st round bye
* #2 and #3 from each side play each other in 1st round

* Alternative: Seeds 3-6 are granted to highest finishers from either division

3 Divisions
* 4 teams each
* #1 and #2 seeds get 1st round bye
* Winner of 3rd division gets in
* Other 3 teams are the highest finishing wild cards from all divisions

I’d definitely change to 2 divisions with 2 winners and then seeds 3-6 determined by overall record. Pretty much ensures the best teams (or at least best team records) get in. With 4 divisions it would be easy for weak divisions to allow lesser teams in

Thanks for the feedback, although we won't be going in that direction. The members love the head to head and rivalry aspects, but we do still want to make it more competitive. We've seen weak division winners coming out of that 4th division, and that's something that we want to eliminate.

I think any of the 3 options above would be a step in the right direction, just still undecided on which. The poll on the website is currently 1-1-1, and I may hold my vote until the deadline on Sunday if I can't decide beforehand.

Another question - how often does everyone on here typically reassign divisions, and do you randomize it or base it off previous placement?
