North American Pro League
- USA Conference
- Canada Conference
South Atlantic Pro League
- South America Conference
- Africa Conference
Pacific Pro League
- Oceania Conference
- Southeast Asia Conference
European Pro League
- Eastern Europe Conference
- Western Europe Conference
What do you guys think?
Sounds good

Good idea so +1
But with only four teams not being demoted or promoted season to season, what difference does it make. No one will be there long enough to ID themselves with the league anyway.

I agree with this but... The problem with Teams demoting and what not, You'll end up with Detroit in Southeast Asia and Tokyo in South America.
Yeah, but that can (and does!) already happen under the current system anyway... which is why demoting teams can petition Support to be put in a particular league, and Support does their best to meet those request. That wouldn't change under the new contracted system. Plus..

Let's just go with some directional stuff like East West, North South.
...your objection can still pop up under this system as well. Anchorage will end up in South, Canberra will end up in North, St. Louis will end up in East, Moscow will end up in the West... same problem, just different names. So your alternative doesn't fix anything.
Plus the appeal of this idea is that it preserves the identity of the current Pro leagues, for those people who still care about that sort of thing. We don't have leagues called North, South, East or West right now. Plus those names are kinda stale and boring anyway, and ridiculously unclear. Is New York City in North, or in East? Or West, for that matter, since they're West of the Prime Meridian. How about Cairo? Rome? Moscow?
I don't know whether New York City is in North, East or West, but I know for freakin' sure they're in North America, so they go in the North American Pro League, USA Conference.

Not to mention that my Charleston Tigers were a firm SLAP team dating back to the early days of GLB, so teams playing out of their geographic region has been that way almost as long as this game has been around.

Much better than my idea to name them Taco, Pizza, Hamburger, and Fried Rice leagues.
it could just be because i'm hungry, but i could easily get behind this idea.
