Hey Neil,
I put this together & I've gotten some really good manager/player feedback.
Take a look and let me know your thoughts.
Next Spring
This balances ALL created divisions to even number of teams.
45 National
Top 8 45+ teams
a)All games played vs 45+
b)Playoffs Decided at Division Meeting
45/55 Central
1.Lind 2.Elk 3.Cards 45+
55+ 1.Fightin Phils 2.Yankees 3.
a)14 game schedule
b)2 games played vs each of these teams (10 games)
c)4 games played vs age division
d)NO DOUBLEHEADERS
e)All crossover games played with 55+ rules
f)All 45+ pitchers must be 50+ to pitch against 55+ (up to or including playoffs????)
g)Playoffs: All teams make it.
1/2 bye
3/6 play-in 4/5 play-in. Then best of 3 semis & finals
Results Scoring/Standings
In a 45 v 55 game
a)55+ win = 4pts
b)55+ Loss/Tie =3pts
In a 55v55 or 45v45 game
a)Win =3pts
b)Tie =2pts
c)Loss =1pt
Any game won by a 45+ of 18 or more runs would result in standings point reduction. A win would equal 2 points for the standings instead of 3.
55 American
Bottom 10 55+
a)All games played vs 55+
b)Playoffs decided at Division Meeting
All Star games can still be played with age division, so there is no need for a third game.
