I am outrageously uneducated when it comes to 'puters, so forgive me if this sounds beyond dumb, but if we wanted a 1-2-4-8... pyramid structure would it be an option to create 3 leagues on the same level as Elite, 4 then in total, 2 leagues above that then 1 on the top, have relegation/promotion work the same way as 2.x to 1.1 for all leagues, bot flush everyone up, then, for the time being, remove the current number 2 leagues?
Or would that just be an insane amount of labour hours/days that wouldn't work anyway?! |

Today we have 1-8-16-32
I would like to go with 1-8-8-8...It reduces the possible amount of teams per lege level below D1 Last edited on 2018-09-19 21:59:24 by pete |

Well, if the goal of the restructuring is to create full leagues and better competition for everyone, then I think it's better to reduce the number of regions from 8 to 4.
Reducing D2 from 2 to 1 league still doesn't stop the fact that there will still be almost empty D2 in at least half of the regions. |

I think that harder to tackle than fusioning the leagues.

We have about 380 managers right now. If we assume full elite plus level 1 we have 92 teams for future 8 level 2 leagues which makes 11 to 12 teams in average per league. That's ok i guess. |

I want to add this to the debate, but my experience of Lvl 2 was that is wasnt really engaging socially. The Lvl 1 leagues were different mainly due to the managers having often already invested in the game.
Is not a fundamental problem in an online game if we lack a community we lack engagement and loyalty for the consumer. The thing i would like to add now is putting new players in half filled leagues is still not really solving the big issue with an online game, its an improvement but not ideal. As an idea could we consider maybe bolstering the Human players in D2 with replacing Bots with second teams from our more active members who have the time to skim manage a second team but whose real goal is to engage in the D2 level and get managers into the community? |

Due bad experience I have to refuse this. At the moment we would allow 2nd teams in general, I would remove all anti cheating stuff, and would refuse to answer any cheating reports anymore. This is in my opinion a step into the wrong direction.

Btw, the work on this will start today, since right now no single Region has more than 32 teams in D2.x. This was possible since this night an Admiral D2.x team went bot and made the required room we need for this change. I hope to have this in place at next season rollover.
To add, I will introduce a "switch division" function. A team in D1 or below - not ELITE!! - can request to switch the region. To make it less prone to exploiting it, I will add a switch in the Team Settings "allow division change at next rollover". This switch is off per default. If a manager switches it on, his team enters a pool. This pool will contain all bot teams and the "switch division enabled" teams. A random mechanism will exchange division spots at season rollover. The manager has no control if the switch happens at all, and cannot add any conditions like "only into NC east". If it works out as expected, we will see a better spread of teams across D2. If we see more managers again, opening D3 would harm less in terms of available bot spots. The change division thing will give some hope to teams stuck in their division. Yes, it might kill some rivalry, but not in a way we would see if we allow region switching - since the team stays in its league...a manager cannot run away from his original league. |
