Personally, I think some sports could really benefit from a two tier-relegation system. (Baseball comes to mind).enjoy jadaki's link it should answer most of your basic queries.

Jadaki 0 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I often wonder how well relegation would work in the NBA or NFL. Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I often wonder how well relegation would work in the NBA or NFL.i dont think it would work for any of our sports except maybe baseball because baseball has a payroll disparity problem much like the Premier League does.

Toms789 0 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Cool thanks for all the info. i tried googling but i must of not been using the right search terms. Hopefully this will clear things up :)just to clarify. Each conference has divisions and the winner of the divisions go into the play offs (including the next best stat team). Then the play offs have a tournament structure and then do teams then play each other 7 times each? Or is it only the final four teams that do this?I'm pretty tired reading this so I'm guessing I've probably missed something. Link to post Share on other sites
