Other leagues have it, why can't we.
I would love to see Pee-Wee introduce a traveling trophy to make scrims even more interesting and something fun and challenging to compete for on top of all the great tournaments we run. I think off the bat the trophy should be one of three teams.
Pee Wee Cup Winner: Deep Throw It
Pee Wee Gold League Champion: TBD
Or
Winner of a play in game between Cup and League winner..it'd have to be on Day 40 and a forced schedule game on late notice.
Due to the nature of PeeWee, I think it'd be important to edit the pre-existing rules that apply to other leagues with a few modications.
Must be defended once every 6 (WL is 8, shorted time period due to the complete turnover in GLB) GLB days.
-Doesn't have to be defended in the 8 games of the season (this is to eliminate the coin flip factor in the opening weeks)
- Must inform the Board who you plan to defend against
- Must be defended against an approved opponent
- May not be defended in your own conference (edit from "league" consecutive defenses)
- May not be defended against a team in your own conference in the first defense after winning
- The Board may force challenges against certain regions/teams if it is determined they are being avoided for too long
Defense schedule:
DEFENSE STRUCTURE FOR GOLD LEAGUE CHAMPION
Defense 1: If PW Gold team, must defend against opposite conference. If Silver team or copper team, must defend against a Gold Team from either conference that is not the former champion.
Defense 2: Champ picks any Gold or Silver team not given a shot or who held the trophy in current season, must be approved by board
Defense 3: If Defense 2 was a same conference Gold game, defense 3 must be against a silver team. If defense 2 was against a silver team, pick 3 must be against a same conference team. If it was against the opposite conference again, same conference game must be scheduled.
Defense 4: If champ has yet to defense against their same conference, they must do so now. Same rules apply if they have yet to defend against the silver champion.
Defense 5: Rematch. To qualify for a rematch the winning team must have a winning record if they are a Gold team, or if they are a silver team, they must have no less than 2 loses in league.
Defense 6: Gold team opposite conference.
Defense 7: Gold team same conference.
Defense 8: Silver team.
Defense 9: Champ's Choice
SILVER CHAMPION DEFENSE SCHEDULE
Defense 1: Gold team of choice.
Defense 2: Gold team from opposite division
Defense 3: Board's Choice
Defense 4: Silver team approved by Board
Defense 5: Rematch (same rules as stated above)
Defense 6: Gold team of choice
Defense 7: Opposite Gold conference from Defense 6
Defense 8: Champ's Choice
Some of you may love this, some may not, but I hope more do then don't
I think it'd be a cool feature to add to Pee Wee competition and continue to evolve the overall league into something unique and it's own great community. I also don't think copper teams should qualify as they generally are brand new teams and first year owners, and there are way too many deserving and experienced owners at all times who deserve a crack at the title first. Some people may think it's "gold competitive heavy" and you'd be right.. it is.. but there are certain clauses in here that will give Silver teams a chance as well. I think it'd also be important to add in some sort of clause that every 4 or 5 defenses a silver team must get a chance (this would be in case it keeps changing hands amongst Gold teams and they never make it through enough defenses to get to a silver level team) to ensure 1-2 silver opponent's are faced each season.
Thoughts, comments, concerns? If we do create a "board" I'd like to throw my name in the hat to be on it, as well as DrkSandeman/Tournaments, and I have a few others in mind as well who I think would be great agents to have.
