I voted against it because of how the regions were once a big draw to owning a team. I still think some agents like this idea even though it never lived up to expectations.

Good. I'd hate to see a team like TKW this season, for example, going to anywhere but the top pro level. It would be a waste.

Now, league names, you need to keep the regions! just find a quantitative system for ranking them and stick to it. Wins, WL championships, Random draw whatever...

But there is a rich history there. Don't throw it away.

I think we should keep the regional affiliations which is what the World League is based on.

Your fine with the promotion/demotions as outlined, but why not keep the naming of leagues instead of going to this terrible naming scheme we have in the Minors (this should have been done better in the first place with all due respect to DD).

Just go to 2 Elite leagues and 8 Competitive, and name them this:

Pro Elite #1 - Western Hemisphere
Pro Elite #2 - Eastern Hemisphere

These leagues feed the Western Hemisphere:

Pro Competitive #1 - USA
Pro Competitive #3 - Canada
Pro Competitive #5 - South American
Pro Competitive #7 - Carribean

Pro Competitive #2 - Western Europe
Pro Competitive #4 - Eastern Europe
Pro Competitive #6 - South East Asia
Pro Competitive #8 - African

This is much cleaner and makes more sense with the World League.

Not a bad idea but the problem we have there is that you're adding 64 teams to the Pro level. Not sure we can do that.

If you took more overall effective team level into sorting consideration, this may work as intended for all.


If you start basing promotion on EL instead of record, then performance in Regional Pro doesn't matter, and you don't want that, either. May as well use EL to pick WL while you're at it, which is obviously really undesirable. (At least to me)

+1 for the general idea
vote NO because of the elite, competetive, normal part and getting rid of regions


I like some kind of this more

That's fine then... you just blend the Carribean into the South America and Africa into an African/Asia league.

nope, don't like it. I want my team to play in Eastern Europe and not in a no name Pro league (elite or not).

This is why Catch makes the big bucks...

As ITS points out, the literal naming convention is irrelevant to the whole point

Maybe just the league winners then, go to two competitive and four normal leagues. Something like:

Elite final four: 8
Competitive championship game for competitive: 4
Winner normal: 4

That better?


No way the winner of normal 8 is better than 5th place in the elites. If a team that wins gold in normal bellyaches for not getting to go to WL, they won't do it for long. As soon as they start getting their butts handed to them in elite the next season, they'll know they got what they deserved.

-1

The most fun outside of network I have had in this game has been bantering with the people I have come to know in my Pro League, the league forum is the first place I look to see whats going on.

Why take that away? Teams still get CPU'd in the lower leagues despite the efforts to sort them by balance, while others will boost themselves to the top. So whats the point?

If anything I would say go back to the permanent minor leagues of the past, and let teams form bonds and competitive histories and an active forum life with each other.
