3v3 has been on a slow decline - there possibly wouldn't have been a 3v3 league this season if it weren't for the new teams participating, so I agree that something needs to change, but I'm not sure if introducing a 3v3 futsal league would attract more teams as the competitive scene looks to be mostly 4v4. Maybe a 4v4 futsal league to replace 3v3 could work.
Also, 3v3 is commonly used for teams to use players who were benched in 4v4, so perhaps there would need to be a rule that teams need to play x amount of players in both modes. (say 5 for now as it's the minimum requirement).
I thought about the idea of combining both Div1 and Div2 leagues together, so 26 teams in 1 division using this ssn as an example, but then splitting these 26 teams into 4 groups of 6 / 7 / 6 / 7 teams. Then each team in these small groups play each other once and then a promo/relegation match for first place in group 2/3/4 vs last place in 1/2/3. Then awarding eg. "Season 27 First Quarter Champions" to the group winner. So in the 4th quarter you could possibly have a team from group 4 winning the league if they promote through each small group..... don't know how feasible this would be as league stats might have to be reset each time... probably 4 separate divisions would be better.
Just throwing these ideas out there - would like some feedback for polls etc,.
Maybe a better solution for div 1 is NBA format. Seasons will be long but interesting and will have great climax
I agree with the NBA format part, but why only div1, just put all teams in 2 "conferences" and let them play against each and every team twice then a playoff system with top 8 or top 4 from each conference qualifying for it, just like in nba.
The participating clubs will first play a conventional round-robin schedule for a total of 30 matches. After the conclusion of those matches, the team ranked 16th will be directly relegated to the Belgian Second Division, while every other team will play in a playoff round according to its league table position.
The first six teams will play in the Championship playoff. Points earned during the regular season are halved with an odd number of points being rounded up. The round will be played on a round-robin schedule. The winner of this round has won the Belgian championship and will participate in the third qualifying round of the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League. The runners-up will also play in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, while the third-placed team will enter the third qualifying round of the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League. Finally, the fourth-placed team will have to compete in a single match (called Testmatch) against the winner of the Europa League playoff (see below) for one spot in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.
The teams finishing seventh through fourteenth will play in the Europa League playoff and start with zero points. The round will be played in two groups, with teams in positions 7, 9, 12 and 14 comprising Group A, and the remaining teams comprising Group B. Each group will be played on a round-robin schedule. The winners of these groups will then compete in a two-legged series to earn the right to play against the fourth-placed team of the Championship playoff for one spot in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.
The 15th-placed team will participate in the Relegation playoff, along with the teams ranked second through fifth in the Belgian Second Division.

And also teams are given a wicked wango card. If they use their wicked wango card they get double points for that game day.
Finally FM can be exciting!

Mostly , it's best for noobs . They can play against each others and enjoy it and eventually , when they will become stronger,
they will start winning matches , gaining points and scaling the div ladder .

This is how I think my idea of splitting teams up into mini groups with a promo/relegation could end up, with the stronger teams (eg. Pablo) being in the top division and the weaker teams being in the bottom groups. Maybe it would be better to have 2 teams promoting/relegating from each group, though.
Ofc there will be still be a problem (not a massive one) where newly created "super teams" enter the bottom group, but they wouldn't stay in the division for too long (assuming they win most games).
I like the idea of a match-making system, but I feel it would only benefit the most active teams (assuming they win) who can play 5-10 games (maybe more) per day. Maybe we could think of a solution to this.grünersamt wrote:nevertheless maintaning the league would be more time consuming and stressfull as ever I guess so only admins can tell about feasibility.
I might finally retire at the end of the season, so let's try to give Hannes as much work as possible
