I think now that Bort has officially announced the World League, most see it as a vehicle to expose the myth of USAPL dominance.


If taking the top four teams out of USA causes slippage compared to other leagues who will also be losing their top four teams, then perhaps "dominance" doesn't mean what you think it means.

Where did he say it would?

No, if anything, taking the top 4 (and really, its not necessarily even the top 4, just the conference finalists) from every league will increase the dominance of the USAPL.

The USAPL goes 10-12 deep in top 25 teams. Most of these other mediocre Pro leagues go 2-4 deep in USAPL caliber squads.

Well USA will be far and away the best Pro League, there will be absolutely no doubt about it...it will also be the hardest to advance to the World League out of.

OPL, SEAPL, EEPL, WEPL, SAPL, etc....who is left to really battle? No one because their decent teams are gone. Two of those leftover teams will be in the World League next season.

What is left in USAPL? MM, WW, ***O***, KKAR, Navs, the Vikings (before they decided not to resign everyone), the Hounds, Blaze, Gurupies, Slashers, Golfers and probably a few teams that didn't make the playoffs. Only two of these teams will be in the World League next season.

Good luck on getting scrimmages out of World League teams to prove USAPL dominance. I certainly wouldn't scrimmage in that league. Without scrimmages, good luck getting recognized as a top 25. With a tougher path to the World League and reduced name recognition, good luck getting the top talent.

Heck, and Bort hasn't even said how he's gonna do demotion. There are folks out there that want it to stay 4 teams per league by demoting the worst team from each region and only promote the Pro League champions every season. Ya, that will work.

Hang on... let me find it.... oh yeah. He said it right..... here.

You know... his entire post. That part of what he said.

But since this non-USA philistine has clearly misunderstood what was being said, help me out. Enlighten me as to how this will affect things? Will it just:

* Minimize the recruiting advantage USA Pro has based on brand name alone because now everyone will put "World League only" in their recruiting requests?
* Minimize the advantage USA Pro has in basically hand-picking which scrimmages they want to take to protect/insulate their ranking, like an aging boxer?
* Blow up the heirarchy established in the ranking systems where USA Pro teams are weighted more heavily just because they are in a league named "USA Pro"?

But I gotta say... having never come over to USA Pro forums before, I may have to come back. You guys are hilarious, in the same way Keanu Reeves is hilarious when he tries really really really hard to act.

Brilliant!! The league hasn't already been formed, and already USA Pro is whining that the World League will get all "USA Pro" on them!!

WPL will not end USA Pro's dominance by stealing recruits or mucking up the ranking system.

WPL will end USA Pro's dominance over time by sucking up more teams from USA than from any other region, if the relegation system there is done properly.

No, I have laughatelitistpricksitis. I thought what the doc had prescribed was working. I've stopped chuckling at people who drive Hummers. I can now hold entire conversations with Mac users without cracking up at them. It seemed to be under control.

Then I came here, and I can see I'll have to up my dosage.
