yes you do bring up good points. But if 1/2 of the teams make it into the playoffs that would mean more competition....teams will strive to be better. Instead of having 2/3 of the teams make it into the playoffs. The league hade 3 divisions back in the old days, i remember that , but yea they had Eastern, Central, and Western division. The confusing part was trying to figure out which teams made it to the playoffs. But this was a failure and it only lasted for 2 years i think from 2000-01 i think. I will be so happy though the day the league goes to single table format

I think the main reason that the three-conference system fell through was because two of the twelve teams folded after 2001, and it's really hard to justify dividing ten teams into three groups. Though, we're at fourteen now, and it still hasn't gone to three, so maybe that's a good sign. I still say I wouldn't be surprised if it goes to three in the next three years - though I echo the idea that it does need to just go to a single table. good point about it being more competitive, though, that probably is a partial reason for how the league's stepped up a few notches since expansion began a few years ago (and hopefully will step up some more).

single table i think would still be in the best interest for the league. If you're an eastern conference team you are only competing against 6 or 7 other teams from your conference. Single table would make for a far more competitive league.
Anyone else think they should move the schedule from spring-fall to winter-spring...it would yield for a faster paced game because of the cold weather.
