6X6 sounds great. Perhaps too many teams being out of everything (unless you're using a European-soccer-like relegation system - if interested, do a search on the boards for 'relegated' or 'relegation' and you'll find out what I mean

.
BTW, does anyone know if it is possible to replicate in some way the NFL and its' playoff system? If I set up a 2-league, 4X4 format, the winner of each division will go into the playoffs, right? No wildcards whatsoever?

Many thanks if anyone could give their input on how to do that.
