2 Divisions!

For this season, we have decided on 2 divisions. As much as people like having Intermediate to split the teams up more, we found that this season forcing a 5 team Premier, with 2 double round robin divisions with Intermediate and Open, would not work. We found a clear divide in skill between Awesome Sauce and Funny People which made both divisions competitive at the top and bottom of the division, still giving teams chances to fight and learn without worrying about being stomped every week.

Progression of the Season

Premier will be having a 7 week season, with each team facing each other once with Main having a 5 week season facing each other once as well. In both divisions, the top 4 teams will move onto the Page Playoffs, with any teams falling outside of the top 4 will not progress into Playoffs.
