but at least for the 5 placed team, they are lot of discussions because it don't have any games in the off season, and this problem was be solved.

Even if i don't like it that much, i prefer are salry "freeze" for the time without games and the current system - but they are also other system who coul be working.

The idea of the current system is to have at least 1 team per division relegate unconditionally -- no second chances.


Whose idea? I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but you're making that up.

I think the suggestion is a great idea, actually. And not just because I'm a curling fan. This suggestion — not coincidentally, from a Canadian — is simply the Page playoff system (without a final) used in curling tournaments.

The BB team. I am not making this up -- I have brought up proposals for relegation playoff structure that involves the entire bottom four. The answer was that being able to tank for a top pick and avoid relegation at the same time is undesired. Therefore, guaranteed relegation is a must for the league structure to work as desired.

OK, thanks, that's the explanation I needed to hear, at least.

OK then, what about this?

8's get RELEGATED.

Two pools are made (below)
Big 8 #5, 7 & Great 8 #6
Great 8 #5, 7 & Big 8 #6

Then, teams compete in a round-robin format.
1st Tuesday - #5 (at home) vs. #6
1st Saturday - #6 (at home) vs. #7
2nd Tuesday - #7 (at home) vs. #5

The team with the most wins (or largest point margin as TB) is SAFE.

2nd Saturday - 2nd place team (at home, according to above) vs. 3rd place team.

Winner is SAFE, loser gets RELEGATED.

You get to play at home against the #6 team, any you only have to play away against the #7 team.

My round-robin format is designed so that every team is able to get funds from a home game in the playoffs. Isn't that more important than having the #5 team play at home in all of their games, making it almost impossible for them to get relegated?

actually you could win your away game, and you should have a advance of finishing 5th then 7(ok currently this place is a punishment to, but when we change it don't replace is with an Hobsons choiche).

Maybe the fund problems, could be fixed in dividing the money 50:50 - that won't be bad for the PO team too.

I could go with that, but there's no reason that every team that doesn't make the playoffs shouldn't have to fight for their safety. When the playoffs start, everything is back at square 1 - season records don't matter except for homecourt advantage, which doesn't need to be there anyway because of the placement of teams in the playoffs.
