To respond to your points:

1) There is still 1 team promoting and 4 teams going down. No change there. However, instead of having 7 rivals you would have 11.

2) Many people, like me, see promoting as a very daunting task at the moment. And like I said in #1, the change in terms of # of teams is the same.

3) I personally would want to avoid finishing 5th like the plague. 4th is MUCH better. I can see your point about 6th if you are not certain you could win the qualifier. Let's just say that 5th place is kind of no mans land at the moment.

As for the playoff, that's easy. The top 2 teams get a bye through the 1st round. I don't know what the implications would be for normal/CT... However, I would like to see normal/CT removed for the playoffs, anyways. I can't see many situations where a normal would be prudent in the playoffs at present.

4) I don't know what you mean here - it sounds like you are in agreement on this point but I may be misreading you.

5) I can't really argue this too much - it was really just a guy feeling of mine.

1. for me the teams from other division are rivals too, and i know my league rivals better because more teams stay in my division, i think must people can remember more then 12 persons ;)

2. but in the first season not,because you had to smaller the divisions, which is pretty chaotic

As for the playoff, that's easy. The top 2 teams get a bye through the 1st round.


don't you get a a new "5th place"

4. maybe i agree a bit, but the actual system is not that bad ;) Because in pretty unbalanced division, the top division get only one demotion, the other one 3.
