How about switching of only a single pair of teams every season? Like the number 5 teams? The 5th spot is nowadays typically the one to avoid in many leagues. Obviously switching of conferences could make that spot even more hated or slightly more rewarding, depending on which conference you currently reside in.

Love the idea! 5th place is a place in the middle which is good, and would finally give some meaning to the dullness of coming 5th.

I agree, this is a great idea. I'm gonna 5ball you for that! :P

Even 7th place should change the conference when he/she was strong enough to beat other conference's 6th. ;-)

This would trade strength because one of the promoted teams would come to the stronger conference that slowly would adjust the level (less pressure on the former better conference ...).

I love the idea of the 5th place team switching from the Big 8 to the Great 8 and vice versa. Also, why is it that blocked shots result in a new shot clock if the shooting team gets the rebound? If a team has their shot blocked and gets the offensive rebound, the shot clock should not be reset.

I like it all except number 5, even though I get on almost every day, other managers might be having difficulties with their computer or the internet. So I think it is fine the way it is.

I agree somehow with point 1 that, strength differs on both sides of the league, and that something could be done to make that better.

I just thought about those relegation play-offs and it seems to me that it might also be an idea to place the team which wins the relegation play-off between the number 6 of the might - and the number 7 of the strength, automatically on the place of the number 6 of the might. Of course this should also be so in the match between the number 6 of the strength and the number 7 of the might.

Short said
Nr. 6 Might - Nr. 7 Strength - winner will take place Nr. 6 Might, other team still relegates
Nr. 7 Might - Nr. 6 Strength - winner will take place Nr. 6 Strength, other team still relegates

This way strength differences between both sides will even a bit. And both sides will always get 2 new teams.

However with point 2, I really disagree. That's what makes BB challenging!

edit: And offcourse if the number 5 spot could get less hated, I'd like that too!
