In an effort to streamline the leagues and reduce CPU teams per league, we will be changing the layout and structure of leagues after this season.
At the end of this season (season 46), we will be removing two National Pro Leagues and condensing down to 2 leagues: the top 64 teams. Remaining teams will be moved down to the Regional Pro leagues and reshuffled into Elite, Competitive, etc. Teams being demoted from World League and Elite league conference winners will automatically earn their spot in the top 64. Casual leagues will remain the same.
At the end of NEXT season (season 47), we will be changing the number of teams in all leagues from 32 to 12. This will consist of two conferences of six teams, in which you play everyone in the other conference once and everyone in your own conference twice (16 games), and the top 4 teams from each conference make the playoffs. To start season 48, we will once again enable four National Pro Leagues, but now with 12 teams each, for a total of 48 teams. The remaining lowest ranked teams will be dropped down to Regional Pro and reshuffled.
What this means for World League next season: ONLY the top 10 teams will stay in World League in to start season 48, and ONLY the winners of the two National Pro Leagues will promote to World League. World League will truly be only the best of the best.
What this means for World League in season 48 and beyond: The winners of the four National Pro leagues will be promoted to World League, and the top 8 teams in World League will stay, while the bottom two from each conference will be demoted back to National Pro.
What this means for Casual Pro League next season: ONLY the top 10 teams will stay in Casual Pro to start season 48, and the top two teams from Casual Regional Pro will promote to fill in the remaining two spots. The remaining teams will be dropped down to Regional Pro and reshuffled.
What this means for Casual Pro League in season 48 and beyond: The top 8 teams in Casual Pro will stay put, and the other 4 spots will be filled by promotion from National Pro as usual.
Why the update? Smaller leagues will allow for much more agile expansion and contraction of leagues, with far fewer CPU teams per tier. This will allow us to better fit the structure with the actual count of teams in GLB Classic, and will afford better competition across the game. http://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/announcement.pl?id=723
Spicy, but 1 season after my window of cares
