I agree but I think you should just swap, like for like, even or odd number teams (so 2nd red with 2nd blue, 4th red with 4th blue, 6th red with 6th blue).

This guarantees that if the 2 or 3 best teams in the league are in the same division at least one goes to the other side and the same applies to teams fighting to avoid relegation. It's been a few seasons in the English top league, that BOTH teams from the blue side won relegation series easily. Those teams which finished 5-7 in the blue side would have fought for a playoff spot in the other conference.

No change are needed to how rivals are determined: although instead of 2 games you should consider the single game you played the previous season for teams who are swapping conference

change your first sentnance
the idea of mixing the divisions season to season came to mind.

should be - mixing the conferences. Some of the reply's are people thinking its division mixing.

But yes. this is me since like season 19.
There have been only 3 division winners from the other conference since Season 19.

Here i am - stuck competing against a really hard conference season in season out. I remember one season, the other conference had the 3 relegates and the promotee, and the following season, i think we had no ABBL relegate, so that conference got 4 Div III promotees.

so i am definately all in favour for this idea. I personally think they could just randomize it every season. everyone in a big bucket, mix em up, where they lie, thats where it is.

I am in favor of this idea because I always get stuck in the hard side. But the only way to determine if the divisions are fair are through cross matchups.

Not much to say, great idea and I fully support this.

whether it's random or something like 1 with 3 and 2 with 4 etc, doesn't really matter to me either way, but I think it's a good idea for every 3-5 seasons or so.

Even though im fully supportive of this idea - im trying to think of disadvantages.

would there be a problem with Rival games? Or .... something else? i can't think of anything off the top of my head, maybe there is some reason why the conferences remain fixed?

anyone?

whats long run? im waiting about 12 seasons now.

most of Div II's in Australia have been like this. People have actually 'tanked' deliberately to change conferences.

In D1 in England (which is not a micronation for the avoidance of doubt) I think at least 7 teams from the blue side would have at least fought on an equal level with the winner of the red conference. The 6th on the blue side finished with a 12-10 and the 1st on the red side finished with a 13-9 record. That was the maximum difference I've seen but the reality is that the blue teams are traditionally a lot stronger than the red teams in our top league and that isn't changing because it's not like the best team on the blue side is going to promote...they just win silverware.

PLease consider this great idea... much more to the divisions that is mixed with Bots... with the swiss-system in place for the BBM probably our BBs can use it too to balance the lowest Divisions of the Nations so that those who are trying to push for promotion will see a fair chance to advance... I am on a League where 3 of us who push for promotion are on the same Group... while on the other side the teams are just living in peace and seems content atm... while at least I am close to Bankruptcy in doing so... but still failed... TYVM...
