This team lost in the CCG in a division where there was only 1 other good team (i.e. the rest were 100 or 200 point blowouts), they currently have 17 players on the roster, they have never won a trophy at any level, and they are now in USA Pro This is a good reason to condense the Pro leagues.
These teams didn't
earn promotion and as a result, they're not ready to compete at the top. (Not dissing on Coal Region btw) It's not
their fault they got prematurely promoted. However, this just magnifies the fact that Pro is watered down in the lower rungs.
We should take perhaps the Top 12 from each region and reduce the Pro leagues from 8 to 6. In this way, the top 10 finishers in each WL conference would stay as well. 9 and 10 seeds are typically very solid in WL.
The top several teams in each conference are worthy pro teams no question, it just the last few that really raise some eyebrows. Some pro leagues are not as tough to win as others and this would help to make that more even across the spectrum as well.
Finally, it would make Regional Pro stronger as well, rather than seeing teams have 5-7 255-0 games...no excuse for more than maybe one of those IMO
