My vote is for divisions. Obviously regional divisions aren't necessary in fake baseball where there isn't travel, etc. but it makes for some fun rivalries. BoP and I were pretty epic rivals.

I would also be in favor of adding two wild card teams to each league. More fun for the owners that way, in my opinion.

[Blackout Pact]

I agree with both. I like the idea of divisions to create rivalries. Also, even though adding two wild card allows for a lot of teams to make the playoffs, it will help keep everyone involved throughout the entire season which is very important.

[Party]

Since we're going to allow more teams in the playoffs in order to increase participation, why not shorten the season as well?

If we're going to allow half the league into the playoffs, let's cut the season down to 142 games. By eliminating 4 sims, the owners with winning teams will be around more often with offseason, draft, etc.

[KnuckleBalls]

I also dig divisions over leagues.

[Bobbob1313]

Clearly, Santurce vs. Havana will be a rivalry for the ages.

[Madman81]

Meh, divisions make me a geographical outcast.

[Party]

You are the Winnipeg to our league.

[Madman81]

I'm closer to every other city of the Great Lakes division than Pittsburgh. I'm getting St. Louis Rammed in the rear here.

[Party]

Nothing is set yet.
