Once I have 30 teams registered, I will take a look and see if I can break the divisions into A,B,C.

If so there will be 3 divisions of 10 playing 9 divisional games + playoffs for the top 8 in each division.

If not, we`ll go with 4 divisions of 8, 7 divisional games, 1 (A vs B+, or B vs C) game, and everyone makes the playoffs.

Right now there are 24 teams in. I expect we`ll hit 30 over the weekend (a good 4 weeks before the season starts).

We never advertise our league beyond messaging coaches ONCE that registration is open. Why? because
1)we always fill the league
2)we`re not trying to get as many teams as possible, just enough.
3)we don`t want anyone left out due to a large influx of new teams.

There you have it.

;	dave, i know that it sucks for your team but the 3 division, 10 team scenario is much better especially since it guarantees every team 9 games and they have to compete for playoffs. if youre asking to be let in (which i realize you werent asking directly but you were hinting at it), know that it means youre asking all teams to play at least one less game. you had a month buddy.

yessir

;	you clearly didn`t read Tom`s post all the way. In all scenorio`s every team is guarentee`d the same amount of games (9). 3 division`s goes w/o say. 4 divisions = 7 division games, a non division game, and a playoff game which totals 9 games. The only thing you`re sacrificing with 2 more teams is the actual competition to "make" the playoffs. And of course all the chronic b!tching that will come with who should be in what division (mainly A and B+), since "if" the Mags are let in they have to be in the A league by default.

;	This must be somebody from the Mags! They are the only competitive team to miss the boat. We should let them in, but note it`s nobody but your own fault if you guys aren`t playing as a team this season.
