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

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.
