Any update if something like this is going to happen?

Regional Pros are not fun right now. Teams are not close to equal. Too many 13+ win teams and 13+ loss teams. Top teams get 3 or 4 games they have to try for and bottom teams get 3 to 4 teams they have a chance to win. Average teams has 4 easy win, 4 easy losses and 8 games where they have a chance. Hard to stay excited about a game where you know the outcome of a game before it is played.

Please condence the pros for better competition.

It gets worse wait till the slow built and non boosting teams teams roll up there. Think about the good times then.

I would be willing to bet the majority of those voting against this is solely because they want to preserve regional affiliation.

No new leagues would have to be created... just resort so Pro playoff teams form the hemisphere leagues and the bottom half of Pro combines with regional pro elite (current regional pro elite contracts)

WL

Northern Hemisphere (elite 1)
Southern Hemisphere (elite 2)

Northern Hemisphere Feeder leagues
USAPL
CPL
EEPL
WEPL

Southern Hemisphere Feeder leagues
OPL
APL
SAPL
SEAPL


Make that work and everyone is happy!!


This template is still the best option so far. With the above you eliminate some of the current regional pro leagues by combining the worst of Pro and the best of regional pro. No new leagues need to be created to do this.

Obviously "Pro" is not as strong but the competitiveness should be much improved. Its the only way to have the best of both worlds (no other way to preserve the 8 regions yet improve league competitiveness).

So it's 34-27 for/against. I'd love to hear comments from those that are against it as to why they are against it. Provide some logic behind your vote please.


Rivalries


This. Right here.

Apparently, rivalries are really important, until you reach the top level of the game.

Dots are fun, but the forums drive this game. The dots just give the people something to talk about in the forums, sometimes.

The WL forum SUCKS. Meanwhile, the communities that have been formed in some of the Pro forums are awesome. When somebody wins the league/conference, it's a bittersweet thing. You're happy about the achievement, but sad about leaving your friends behind.

Then you go get your ass handed to you, like as not... wind up 3-13, get demoted back where you came from, and again it's bittersweet. You're back among your friends again, but your once-dominant team just spend the last month and a half getting slobberknockered every other day. People are discouraged. Some will gut and reboot. Or merge to form a superpower.

JUST GET RID OF IT. The World League causes more problems than it solves.

I didn't read everything in this thread so hopefully I'm not posting something that is already been proposed. Here is my idea for upper league structure.

Top league would remain World League. One Conference would be consisted of teams from the Nothern Hemisphere while the other Conference would be teams from the Southern Hemisphere. This league would only have 8 demotions for each Conference.

The Feeder Leagues for World League would be The Northern and Southern Hemisphere Elite Pro Leagues. This League would be consisted of World League Demoted Teams and Continent Pro Team winners. You'd have 16 demotions and 8 promotions from Continent League Winners along with your 8 World League Demotions from World League for each Conference. The playoff teams from each conference in this league promotes to World League.

The Leagues below the Hemisphere League would still be the Continent Pro Leagues to keep the original leagues. Only the top 2 Teams from each continent would promote to the Hemisphere Leagues. The teams demoted from the Hemisphere Leagues would drop to this league while the worst teams from this league could be demoted to a Semi-Pro League.

Northern Hemisphere League

USAPL
CPL
EEPL
WEPL

Southern Hemisphere League

OPL
APL
SAPL
SEAPL

I saw people post the Hemisphere Leagues so I just went with that to give an example. I think we need another League for Teams that promote from the Minors which could be a semi-pro league. This league would be a level 60 cap maximum to prevent level 72 teams from joining so those teams can remain competetive once they promote from the minors.
