I completely disagree with your arguments. Coppers deserve their rivalries too, and have plenty of competent owners. Pee Wee starts over every season. Everyone has a chance. Sounds like you're ready to just write off the copper owners out there as being total losers. The cream will rise as always. Just 'cause they started last season doesn't mean they automatically suck. There's silver teams who aren't going to be very good either, on the other side of the coin.
Also, I cannot "put it back" or anything like that. Teams are moved, owners have renewed or haven't, plans are in motion. You reshuffle and you lose all rivalries instead. Right now everyone gets to play teams they know and have something of a history with.
Yeah, looks like we probably have too many silver leagues, which makes for too many CPUs in silver. We can remove some next season if need be. We'll fill the CPU's we have now with new owners, who may or may not present a challenge. That's the trouble with pee-wee: you can't predict who's going to be good and who isn't, no matter where they came from.
I actually complete agree with this, it is just a tragedy that we will have to endure this season, but in a positive light we get to look forward to a much more exciting regular season and conference playoff than we've seen in the past.
I hope that by eliminating more silver leagues you intend to eliminate enough so copper teams who go 3-13 don't advance to silver, otherwise peewee will have lopsided championship games every season, with limited exceptions, as a copper team who can only win 3 games is not ready to compete in silver leagues.
