Coach P, teams certainly get better by playing better competition.

Chico, teams get dramatically better by combining forces with other competitive teams.

Futbol, under Chico's scenario the net result would be more quality teams, but less number of teams.....meaning a third division (level) would be a stretch, especially at the older age groups when the real consolidation takes effect.

I still like promotion/relegation though....even with just two divisions.


Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
