hey guys,
The regular season will be ending in about 3 or 4 weeks. 8 teams make the playoffs and 4 do not, therefore I am proposing a year end world championship tournament. I was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last year and it was quite a long wait for the playoffs to wrap up. So, the tournament will consist of 8 teams. 4 who don't make the playoffs ( considering we get our owner replacements) and 4 who get knocked out of the first round. The tournament will be going on when the leagues semi finals begin. The tournament will consist of 8 world teams and the owner with the worst record will get to pick first.
It's an early idea, but I think it will keep league intrest up while in the off season. Plus, teams who get eliminated from the playoffs early will have something to look foward to.
Please reply if you guys think this is a good idea.

I like the idea Sports - I agree completely last seasons playoffs took way too long - we need to keep this one moving and this is a good way to keep people going...
Great Idea IMO!

It looks like the world tournament will be on. This is how the team select order will go ( considering we do not get the two players who dropped). The world tourney would begin when the finals begin.
1. active player who finnishes last
2.active player who misses the playoffs
3.team with fewest victories in first round and season play
4.team with second fewest victories in first round and season play
5.team with third fewest victories first round and season
6. team with most victories in first round and season play
7.team who loses in semifinals with fewest victories
8. team who loses in semifinal with most victories.
This is considering we do not get the two teams that dropped if we did then it would be changed. The two semi final losers would not be included in the tourney and the top 4 non playoff teams would get there pick at their teams first.

this is what the rankings look like according to the olympics. (Teams can pick whatever country they like to repersent as per the team picking order...should be exciting to see who everyone selects.
1.Sweden
2.Finland
3.Czech Republic
4.Russia
5.Slovakia
6.Canada
7.Switzerland
8.U.S.A
these rankings are very interesting because most of us are from the Canada and the States. Will the top selctions be for country pride or for a better chance to win. All teams should be very competitive in the world tournament.

The year end tournament is almost upon us. Since we have the 12 teams in the league I hope that our two new owners (divinefire and badlesh) will participate. I will organize the first four picks of the team select draft on Sunday if the season is finnished by then. I hope this tournament works out as I believe it will be a great direction for our great league. I will work with Main, Cad, and Pen to further the idea of the world tourny.
