Message: [QUOTE="cusefan88, post: 1081765, member: 1974"] To use EPL has example. They have 20 teams. The season is 38 games. Play every team home-and-away. 3pts win 1pt tie 0pt loss. Most pts wins title. Bottom three teams get relegated to English second division. English 2nd Division: Same schedule/pts format. Top two teams get promoted. Teams 3-6 go into playoff to decide final promoted team. Semifinals are home-and-away, the finals is one match held at Wembley Stadium. It works in soccer because they don't have a player draft. The worst team doesn't get chance for best prospect. It prevents "tanking." Also gives lower level teams a long-term goal to attain. Not all countries follow this exact format. In Germany the third worst team in top league plays third best team from 2nd division home-and-away to decide that spot. [/QUOTE]
