Elite Doubles League
Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2008 8:19 amI've had several requests for a Doubles League. I'm looking for suggestions from those looking to enter.
Thinking English style football, with promotions and demotions.
16 Elite Teams: Division 1A & Division1B (8 teams each, 2 demoted each, 3 swap between)
16 Great Teams: Division 2A & Division2B (8 teams each, 2 promoted each, 2 demoted each, 2 swap between)
8 Solid Teams: Division 3A (8 teams, 2 promoted to 2A, 2 stay, 2 demoted to tournament)
Entry Tournament (2 from Div 3A, 6 signups, winner & runner-up enter league)
Swaps (1A ranks 2,4,6 swap with 1B 2,4,6) Ensures the sames teams don't keep playing over and over if multiples seasons occur. Same with Div2 except only 2 teams.
Might be too many teams for multi-season sustainability, could just create larger Div 2A and lose 2B and 3A. 2A would not be a full round-robin in this case and would create more variation in opponents.
