Hello guys,
After all those discussions about the teams and the decisions from the administration, I wanted to suggest something new. I'm sure every "high pro" in division 1 has the same single opinion: "Again those trashy teams in division 1 which belong to division 2..". Every season we've teams from division 2 which definitely belong to division 1 (MD/FH for example) and it is kind of ridiculous that teams like Morelucks which change their players every half season are still in division 1. That made me re-thinking this broken system in the FM-League. Teams are not long-term anymore and are living a short life. I think we should change that and I've got the right system for it.
Here it comes. Why don't we put all teams into one "division" and play with league finals (double elimination) with a winners/losers bracket. I've created something for you guys to understand what I mean:
Here comes an example for a bracket:
Thats how it would look like.
I'm gonna edit this post later to complete it. Feel free to discuss
See ya.
We could do the same with 6 direct qualifiers and 2 playoff-team qualifiers. The advantage of double elimination is that those games are important as hell, but you don't get eliminated directly if you lose one, you just fall into the lower bracket where you get one more chance to go to the finals.
