That's if I remember correctly enough, but I'd have to check my posts about that kind of thing to be sure, it seems.
When and if I ever get my non-public IPA/public EBF up and running and advancing, I plan to do either of those things in certain dynasties, if not both. That's if I can do so and all, of course. I have planned for at least 96 teams to be present in such frameworks, if not at least 120 in them.
In your case, if you might want to do the same kind of things, seeing as you currently have 80 teams to work with, I would suggest you break things up into four different leagues with two subleagues that have two divisions apiece. Twenty teams in each league, ten in each subleague, five in each division, and cut out interleague play and the DH, so as to make things much more interesting and exciting, and to build up tension leading to the Pro Cup series at the end of the year. No real excitement and no real difference is generated by seeing teams in the other league during the regular season except during the All-Star Break, in my opinion, like it was decades ago. No real mystery, either, I think, as well.
These are just some of my thoughts here. Feel free to take them as you wish or not, of course, jg2977. It may take some work to reconfigure your version of the IPA's setup, though. So please don't forget to back up what you have, before you begin to potentially do so, for obvious reasons. That's all for this post here, then, I think. CD out.
