Then dont use CT in the semis....;p Save your energy for the finals and you might actually win it...
I think the B3 should be run like the UEFA Champions League, where some of the top leagues get more entries. Not sure how difficult this would be to implement, but it would be pretty cool.It could also introduce a "play-in game" between the losing semi-finalists to grab the 4th B3 spot in these leagues.
It also has nothing to do with the idea that I'm always going to have a hard time getting past Salisbury Auerbachs, especially since there's no more regular TIE/Normal/CT in the conference playoffs.
