It looks like the 4 normal ones + 1 from what I can tell?

which would be?

Bottom 4 in Alpha for sure.
Bottom 3 in Zeta.

A few of the middle of the road teams might be gutted too.

Gut 'em all... let Bort sort 'em out

Think of how much fun the free agent market will be if all the teams were gutted.

Defectors will be relegated.

Eh .. I say that 100% of my team would come back to my team if that happened. I have no problem with loyalty, everyone signed contracts to Season 8, but thats only because Im a retard and didnt make them D40 contracts, so it went 2 seasons instead of 2 D40s (D40 S7).

I dont ask more than a season from anyone .. if they want to leave, hey .. Im not going to keep someone who wants to go, but they never want to go.

As far as who should be relegated, I figure that would be simple to figure out

There, you can see the huge jump from Kazan, to the really bad teams.

That means that the bottom 6 of Alpha needs to go, that is of course correct.

It also includes the bottom 3 in Zeta, which is okay, but I cant see Greek Fire being competitive next season ... I said last offseason that both Greek and Chernobyl would have issues in a much more competitive league, it was the case .. but Chernobyl doesnt have as much dead weight and Rezlov is really working his ass off ..

Other than that, Zeta is somewhat competitive down to Cincinnati .. I mean at least competitive compared to Alpha, where the bottom is deeper and even more miserable.

Kazan is teetering, but I see that dberner brought some guys in lately and it looks like he might close up shop on one of his other teams the way that the trades looked, so that would be a positive for Kazan ... also they are still somewhat competitive, so .. they need time to be given a chance to rebuild.

lol...i wouldnt say a team that makes the playoffs in 5 of 6 seasons in need of a rebuild...the tough part about pro leagues is the top teams never leave...now making the playoffs in the bottom 4 seeds isnt all that great and that is 4 of the 5 seasons...im still waiting on the economic engine changes to force the top talent to play in pro or not get paid...

we'll upset a team or two to prove we can stick around....

To even imply that a team that is 7-5 should be removed is ridockulous...'specially one that beat the Org handily.

Not really .. I mean sure they are solid .. and I was saying that Rezlov is doing a kickbutt job, but you know if I got all mushy on him he might just get lazy .. so I need to keep a fire on him

Also .. he still has to play

12/06/2008 at Dogdandy Dragons Matchup
12/08/2008 GLB Gods Matchup
12/10/2008 Vaadwaur Phoenix Matchup
12/12/2008 at Prague Punishers Matchup

And I have suggested that 4 of his wins so far this season be demoted, which is the likely case, as Demoniak is going to gut, Greek if they dont gut will be in for trouble next season, Croatian and Silesia are gone. That leaves them with 3 wins so far over teams that will be here next season, I see them winning GLB Gods for certain. Dogdandy and Vaadwaur will be challenges and well .. Prague will be a big challenge for them, lets say they win 2 of their last 4, that will be solid, 3 will likely put them into the playoffs, 4 .. well Id be damned impressed with 4

Okay man .. its highly likely that 4 teams below you get relegated this offseason, realistically 6 should get relegated, that makes you the last place next season.

You have 1 realistic win left on your schedule, that will put you at 6-10.

Just because you made the playoffs in Alpha in the past doesnt mean a lot .. as I have said in the Assessment threads .. making the playoffs in Alpha for pretty much its entire existence has meant "Well someone had to make it". Of course in the past your team was better .. but still ... as I said .. wheres a win against a non-gutted, non-Minsk Koats or Washington team? GCP? I figure you will win that one, they are bad except for a few players .. and I doubt that Bort is going to cooperate and help us clean out the entire league ... but GCP would be the last of the teams that need to go down, Kazan however would need to get a lot more competitive to not end up in one of the last 3 places then next season.

I can't speak for AAA#2, but there are a ton of good teams in AAA#1 that would make EE Pro a lot more competitive. I think one more realignment could lead to a very competitive league top to bottom.
