Since there's a Lower Semi Pro (same as Upper National Minors?) bracket coming in Season 27, it should be there in Season 26 to address the OP's concerns. Make it d141-180, move S25 Regional Minor teams there, and let S25 National Minor teams that aren't jumping to Regional Pro have Semi-Pro all to themselves.

-1 to changing the end date for National Minors, though -- that's not a good solution because it just moves the double-up down a tier. Surely if the OP is against having this season's Regional Minors stuck with this season's National Minor teams next season, he must be against having them grouped with this season's Local Minor teams.

Bottom Line is dots built on day 40/41 of season 19?(not sure, age conversion made it hard to figure it out, but I think it was 5 seasons ago?) are getting hosed.

Changing the cap of national minor would fix that this season, but next season they would again be forced to jump 2 leagues anyways. with the plan that GLB has in place.

something like that would work, and it should not have been you (or me) to have thought of it. Someone that makes money here isn't doing there job very well.

I do not see how moving the age cap (max age) allows this season's local minors to move up 2 tiers to national Minors, but you are correct in assuming I would not want one age to be effected at the expense of another. I have dots at just about every age group

There has to be a way to make it right for dots and teams in the 162d old (as of today) to not have to become under-leveled and over-matched for the next 2 or 3 seasons. If there is something they can do like you suggested that will still work for season 27 as well that would be great. The way it is laid out now, a lot of dots are getting hosed. Period.

Local Minors already are moving to National Minors next season. Those dots will be ~152 days old next season and fall neatly into the planned 121-160 age range. They aren't really jumping two tiers; it just looks that way because of the elimination of the Sophomore designation and the resulting domino effect.

i see, good point.

Guess a possible option is your suggestion:

Not sure how that would fix the problem for season 27 with the 167d old dots(end of this season age) but it would be a start

maybe I should change most of my OP to this quote of yours, and maybe Bort should hire you

What difference does it make if all the other teams are doing the same?

the difference is the teams that are already in National Minors now will be jumping only 1 age bracket, and the teams moving up 2 will be a season behind them , a good 4 level difference and a months worth of training plus the BT/AEQ upgrades that go along with that.

Whatever, it looks like teams that where in 61-100 - University for season 25 might get hit with the 2 tier jump also.


Something different should have been done. GLB should have kept all existing teams in the existing league format and just started new structure for the up and coming dot/teams created after the APD , or something. Sure, it will all work itself out eventually, but why should we have to throw away the last 5 seasons worth of time and flex spent to build our players/teams while we are forced to wait for it do work itself out.

It's Sewy.

wow

12/7/2011 - adjusted league structure for season 26 to following:

Season 26

0- Rookie
1-40 - Prep
21-80 - University
61-120 - Local Minor
101-160 - Regional Minor
121-180 - National Minor
141-200 - Semi Pro
181-Uncapped - Regional Pro
221-Uncapped - National Pro/World League

Power of the voice of the customer.

Good things do happen to bad people.

What? No outrage for this season's University and Prep teams being grouped together next season in Regional Minors? Really?

Actually looks like university and local minor teams will end up in regional minor together, not prep (they'll wind up in local minor)

Looks like the rush to S28 is going to have some pain for some teams. They really needed to push it an extra season or two to give time for teams that were created in season 22 (season before APD was implemented) to work their way out of the system but they want to get this done by S28.

the current Sophomore league is the first league that actually matches the future age restrictions. They will be day 80, all leagues older end on odd numbers generally such as current prep will be about 108 days old, university will be 132ish, local minor will be 152ish.

BTW this is again what happens when we get quick, un-thought through changes. I'm not blaming catch, bort or behn. It's just that we get these kind of changes, which sound right, but are not looked through to the final result and just tossed in as a quick fix. Many suggestions fall to this problem. People want something implemented to fix a problem they see without looking at the big picture.
