World AA1/AA2, World AA3/AA4


Edit:
And demote the bottom 4 each season.


Less leagues firing into the WL would make competition worse imo. Sure better at the Pro Level, but worse at the WL level. I also feel a lot of "Pro" owners would sell their team if the region they've been tied to dissipates....

True. No EE, no Odyssey.

I would still go with an NCAA type tourney of the top 4 teams of Pro region and may include AAA finalists.
This doesn't differ from what's recently been going on with WL promotion and demotion stuff.

No EEPL, No Holland Pinoy All Stars.

The tourney thing is a great idea, but HOW would you pull it off and WHEN?

If you do before day 32-40...well you can pull Sofia out as I'd rather focus on the Pro Playoffs.
You cant do from day 41 on because rosters will be vastly different....


Only way is to extend the offseason by however many days it would take to complete the tourney and that would piss off 90% of GLB.

Yeah... That's what Bort needs to do is to extend the off season, especially that he's doing a lot of changes then he'll have enough time to test those changes before putting them in place the next season.

I think it won't take a long time for an NCAA type tourney.... Most likely around 40 to 48 teams, probably 3 to 4 additional off seasons days. And I believe a lot of agents/users/players will watch the games for sure!

But you missed the point...believe it or not, but there are a LOT of agents that having nothing to do w/ Pro Leagues....so what, they are supposed to sit around from day 32 through a 12 day offseason and 8 day pre-season? That's 28 days between games. You'd lose that player base entirely.

they'd have to figure out a way to do some of the off-season work in parallel. with such a limited amount of teams perhaps you could partition/split out that portion of the db and capture a snapshot of the teams involved. wouldn't need the horse power of the entire GLB universe.

tons of work in the backend for Bort however, if it's even possible.

Maybe that's why Bort didn't do it.... Would be nice though.

I just really don't like what's going on with the WL, teams declining promotion, teams getting promoted that should not be promoted and other similar stuffs.

My suggestion would be to purchase another server and on day 40 right before rollover take a snapshot of the server and move it onto the new server. Not sure how his database is setup....like it would be easier if he could just snapshot the participants of the tourney or if he'd have to take the entire server in a 1to1.

But then let the "live" world keep on going on the main server w/ rosters reseting/demotion/promotion, whatever....

But on this other server all the rosters will be intact, no retired players and the tourney teams could have an 8 day window to complete the tourneys.



If thats not possible to do a 1to1 I'm almost sure he could have another server w/ the sim engine and manualy bring over the teams rosters and give all the participants access.....they've copied WL builds over to the test serveer so I know it can be done.

ftr if you win your conference you cannot decline promotion....it's a myth.

I see, thanks for the information.... Can't wait for season 16 to begin!
Hopefully my team won't stink this season, we've had a history of not doing good on our first season (7 to 9 wins) on the next level then be beastly (13 to 15 wins) on the second season.
