Dont take ANY stats from that game for conference leader trophies or MVP race, AND sort teams in each conference by conference record, so our records would say Sofia Spiders 3-1 (2-1) for example and we get seeded based off of our conference record.
I don't quite understand this logic. If it doesn't count in stats and it doesn't count to playoff seeding, you are making it an exhibition game. ...that's what friendlies are for.
Originally posted by GMathiasf That's what I believe should happen tbh. 17 teams in Conference just makes sense to me.
And one team gets a bye every week? Have one team in each conference have an interconference game each week? Odd number team scheduling is very difficult.

Because I dont want to see a 15 game season and I dont want to see a 17th team in each league. If you want to use that first game as some sort of tiebreaker fine, but that's all the meaning I'd give it. My point also to keep it is that it's fun chatter between conferences to start the year.

tbh, I don't think many people would complain about one bye week a season. I know I sure wouldn't.

I wouldn't mind. Hell, we already get 2-3 of them every season from gut jobs or teams that are way out of their league, whats 1 more against nobody. It would be amazing to get to scrimmage your own team though. I'd love to see our O play against our D.

Originally posted by Derek McFadden It would be amazing to get to scrimmage your own team though. I'd love to see our O play against our D. This would be huge... and let us do like two or three (or seventeen) intra-squad scrimmages a season. The NFL teams only get better by watching the game film they put up against opponents? Not so much. Isn't that why they have Training Camps and mid-week practice? How else do they perfect their play-calling/"AI"?

would love this as well. it was pitched to Bort and there was a technical reason why this wasn't as easy it as it reads - something about the way everything is copied out of one database and into the sim engine ...
so, not impossible but would take some work. maybe someone should ask hazy about it again now that he is on staff and maybe it can get osme support?
