The future of PUL & SUL - 2008/05/13 20:36
With the evolution of some of the early SUL teams and the changing structure of SUL (I think there are many more PUL players playing than the original rules allowed), it seems the time is ripe to also change the dividing lines between the two leagues.
If the level of competition is going to improve (as I think we all believe it continually should), then I think the old PUL/SUL format should evolve into a Tier 1/2 format. Tier 1 is 6 teams, Tier 2 is all the rest. At the end of the league the teams that finish 5&6 in Teir 1 move down into Tier 2. The teams that finish 1&2 in Tier 2 move up into Tier 1. Re-enforce the "only 2-3-4(?) Tier 1 players allowed on each Tier 2 team (for coaching and mentoring purposes). If a plaer is on a T1 team and also a T2 team which then moves up into T1, that player has to chose between the teams.
New players still have to begin playing on a Tier 2 team.
The primary difficulty with all of these ideas for how to make things evolve is that it takes volunteer hours that WAFDA doesn't have. We need more involvement from the members if anything is going to happen and grow in WA.
