Interestingly the NBBA was very lop-sided this season.

I finished 12-10, in the RL Playoffs. I threw the last game but if i didnt, i would've had a record to finish top of the other conference, HCA to the finals of the NBBA....

welcome to ncaa lol.. Jokes

This is replying to all this topic. This is why I wish we didn´t have the 2 conferences in the league. I say let the top team promote and find a way to let the next 4 teams play for a promotion. If 4 out of 16 are relegated, we should really have at least 2 with a chance of promotion

That would just stretch the league structure vertically more than is really advisable. If four teams demote and two promote, then instead of having four times as many teams on each subsequent level, you'd just have two. In the USA now, we have 1 + 4 + 16 + 64 + 256 leagues, for a total of 341. With a structure with 2 promotions, an 8 level structure would have 1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128 = 255 leagues. Starting off new users in VIII.114 instead of V.114 would probably be too daunting to people just joining the game.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think 18-4 is the highest possible record for a team not qualifying in the playoffs. :)

We should have more teams in a division, say 20. That would alleviate a lot of the problem you mention, cutting the number of leagues in your figures by 20%. Even if there was a set up like Spain´s Segunda Division B and Tercera division have for promotion in football / soccer. The top 4 teams out of 20 from various groups play in a playoff for promotion. An average of 1 team per group does promote, but the top 4 have the shot, and if you are in a good group, then maybe all 4 promote. I´m not saying they should take that exact set up, but I don´t like that if you loose the QF or SF game you can´t promote, no matter how you did the rest of the season. A team in my league this season went 21-1, a full 2 games better than anyone else, and they lost in the SF, and won´t have a chance to promote.

At least, lets get rid of the 2 conferences. In my league they are not evenly matched, so the poor teams in my conference who finished 6th and 7th were beating their 2nd and 3rd seed teams, had to fight off relegation
