Our Staff and I have spent some time recently analyzing our current standings, schedule and playoff format. I personally feel we can improve in those areas to make this league more interesting and create more rivalries. Not everyone of our Staff members agreed with this Proposal so we decided a league-wide vote would be useful. Below is the Proposed Format: STANDINGS - 2 Conferences, 4 divisions, as follows: EASTERN CONFERENCE: ATLANTIC Division: Montreal Tampa Bay Boston Ottawa Buffalo METROPOLITAN Division: NY Islanders Philadelphia Pittsburgh NY Rangers WESTERN CONFERENCE: CENTRAL Division: Minnesota Winnipeg Dallas St.Louis Chicago PACIFIC Division: Phoenix Detroit* Edmonton Vancouver *NOTE: Divisions are same as NHL except for Detroit! I had to move him from East to West to even out # of teams. SCHEDULE: Division Play: Each team will play every team in its division 4 or 3 times! This should bolster rivalries! Atlantic and Central division teams will play each team in it's division 3 times(12 games) and then play 10 other teams outside their division 1 time (randomly selected). Metropolitan and Pacific division teams will play each team in it's division 4 times(12 games) and then play 10 other teams outside their division 1 time (randomly selected). PLAYOFF FORMAT: Teams making playoffs: 12 How: Top 2 seeds in each division (8 teams) 2 Wild card teams(next best record) from each Conference (4 teams) Seeding: EASTERN CONFERENCE: 1 - Conference Winner 2 - Other Eastern division Winner 3 - #2 seed with best record 4 - #2 seed with worse record 5 - Wild card #1 with best record 6 - Wild card #2 with worse record WESTERN CONFERENCE: 1 - Conference Winner 2- Other Western division Winner 3 - #2 seed with best record 4 - #2 seed with worse record 5 - Wild card #1 with best record 6 - Wild card #2 with worse record PLAYOFFS BY ROUND: ROUND 1: Division Winners - BYE #3 vs. #6 in East #4 vs. #5 in East #3 vs. #6 in West #4 vs. #5 in West ROUND 2: Reseed based on who is left: In each conference: 1st vs last seed 2 middle seeds face off ROUND 3: East Conference finals West Conference finals ROUND 4: Finals Edited by EugeneNYI - commish, Aug 25 2014, 03:36 PM.

Just out of curiosity why can't we see the standings of the poll on this post? Am I the only one having this glitch? |

The Poll itself is separate from this post. This post is merely to outline the new Format as an option. The Poll is a separate post where I outlined the advantages of new format. So the voting is done only there, not here. |
