ECFA. As of now there are 20 teams in the fold for the 2010 season. Let's get a conversation started on what you feel the divisions should be. This is my view below: AFC North Outlaws Cooperheads Bulldogs Cannons VA Tigers AFC South Admirals Punishers Stallions Fire Bulls NFC North Devils Saints Cowboys Bengals Storm NFC South Lions Knights Warriors Canes Phoenix I could also see putting the Warriors in the AFC North and put the Bulls in the NFC South. |

Well I am the one of a few that feel this way but with so many teams close by 1-2 hr drive on the western side of the bay bridge I say mix it up and been saying that since day 1, create new divisions and make them more balanced divison wise and keep traditional opponnents....should the farthest north team (Bulldogs) be in the same division as the Warriors who is the f-urthest southern team?...no, that would be like sending a NJ to the Tigers. What your going to see this season is a team miss the playoffs that should be there becasue there is to many playoff teams fighting for several spots in one conference and then a weaker conference where teams make it in that have sub 500 seasons that shouldn't be there. But this is just my opinions. Edited by Cannons_football, Jan 12 2010, 12:41 PM.

So what's your take in mixing it up? What would be a scenario that makes sense you? |

NFC North Devils Copperheads Cowboys Bengals Storm AFC South Admirals Punishers Stallions Fire Saints You have: _FC North 1. Bulldogs 2. 3. 4. 5. _FC South: 1. Warriors 2. 3. 4. 5. Teams in 2 hr drive: Cannons Laws Tigers Lions Knights Bulls Phoenix Canes Now take those teams and fit them in 2 "competitive" divisions and not just based on driving distance either |

I agree with the Bulldogs but I personally think the Tigers are the other odd team location wise. Warriors are in Southern MD which is not the farthest away. Maybe the farthest south but the Tigers are in WV so they are southwest. Going off of your Northern Conference. Now doing the South. You have to start with the Bulldogs just because they are the unanimous odd team location wise in the South. And take the 4 closest teams near them and they are (I think) : 1. Cannons 2. Bulls 3. Canes 4. Outlaws Cannons, Bulls, Canes and Outlaws are all pretty close to each other. The Remaining Teams would be: 1. Warriors 2. Phoenix 3. Knights 4. Tigers 5. Lions The Warriors, Phoenix, Knights and Lions are all close to each other. The Tigers are about 1 1/2 hour from all of them so not too bad. The Outlaws are close to the Tigers but all the other teams are farther away to the Bulldogs. But I would keep the cross conference Tigers/Outlaws game because they are close.

yeah, the tigers are more like an hour and a half or so and this is not really gonna make sense but if you look at the team records from last season I think you could put the canes, outlaws, lions, ...... in the same league and fill in with others that would be competative and a fair drive I like the bulldogs, tigers, cannons, and copperheads in one division I think those 4 teams are very close in potential just add another team to that |

North- Devils, Copperheads, Outlaws, Punnishers,Bulls South- Saints, Cannons, Lions, Knights, Admirals North- Bengals, Bulldogs, Warriors, Cowboys, Fire South- Tigers, Storm, Phoenix, Canes, Stallions Thats what i would do and everbody would have travel and everyone would have competition |

NFC North Devils Copperheads Cowboys Bengals Storm NFC South Admirals Punishers Stallions Fire Saints You have: AFC North 1. Bulldogs 2. Cannons 3. Canes 4. Tigers 5. Bulls AFC South: 1. Warriors 2. Lions 3. Outlaws 4. Knights 5. Phoenix If you go with this scenario here each division has atleast three good teams (from last years standings) and the travel is nothing even come playoffs |

we are -30 mins from wv tigers -2o mins from the cannons -35mins from the bulldogs -1hr from the copperheads! why would you change that? all these teams have played in the same division for 2 yrs now all of us are used to this travel! Sounds like pj doesnt want to play us......... And well you all already know the cannons are trying to hide........ I dont blame either of you! 90-13 vs the cannons last yr and that was after a halftime forfeit of 14-0 due to rain 100-6 vs the valley tigers Both teams were playoff teams and both played the 10-0 admirals strong! both of these teams seem to have a huge problem with us! I feel like both of them would do whatever they could do to get us out of the league! i know that at halftime in last yrs championship game both team owners were smiling, after the game...... not so much. im all about playing better competition and i do believe out of conference games against the 10-0 admirals and the 10-0 Lions/hurricanes/punishers or whoever would be nice! Its a real shame that the monarchs didnt make the effort to get into the league because if they are even a qtr as good as they talk they are then they would have no problems running our division and even more the league...LOL! |

Just a f-un fact.... The only scores on the outlaws from the cannons this year came from former outlaws. Mike brown scored on a pass in the first game Ivin Randolff scored on a long kick return with a minute or so left in the semifinal playoff game |

Sure that would be correct but it's all good but even IF division were mixed up some I have already put in a request to play the Outlaws home or away doesn't matter but we will know more this weekend when stuff is finalized hopef-ully. As to answer why maybe switch things up if it happens, well basically to balance divisions out to make the league a whole competitive and not just one or two divisions. Some people like the idea of facing new teams besides old ones and others don't becasue they like driving 15 minutes to a game and there is nothing wrong with that either but it all comes down to what the league thinks is best....as for the Narchs hopef-ully they can get stuff in order well in advance and take it next season unless they are happy in the other league Edited by Cannons_football, Jan 13 2010, 12:12 AM.

i dont think seting up the divisions so each one has a strong team that will face little comp from the rest. If you have a lot of teams in close prox. just put the names in a hat and pick randomly...dont attempt to set the play-offs up pre-season. you dont see the NFL moving the titans out of the AFC south becuase they are a decent team but cant seem to get by the colts. |

Model 6 needs some tweeking. Why would you send the Outlaws to the Hurricanes, when they have to pass the Cannons? I'm sure Bruce could comment on this. NFC North - Copperheads, Storm, Devils, Bengals, Cowboys East - Admirals, Saints, Punishers, Fire, Stallions AFC West - Cannons, Bulldogs, Tigers, Outlaws, Central - Lions, Phoenix, Warriors, Knights One goes West, one Central: Canes, Bulls And before anyone starts to complain about travel, the Stallions to the Saints is about 2.0 hours and $2 toll; and Stallions to Admirals is about 1.5 hours and a $2.50 toll. The Admirals will have to pay the $2.50 toll at least 4 times. So those people who are thinking about their team, and their team only, think about some of the other teams and the challenges they have to face. I think you will find out that things seem to balance out. |

Honestly I think keeping the divisions the way there where last and just filling in and moving teams where needed is the best way to go. The Admirals 10-1, Lion 11-1, Outlaws 12-1 are won there divisions and I look forward to taking that from the Lions. The Lions should look forward to defending there division that's football. You are on top until someone knocks you down. Balance comes from teams keep better and putting in the hard work to get better, not mixing the divisions completely. I think what ever approach is decided upon should have the integrity of the league and football in mind. |

If everyone brings their league dues to the meeting it will be finalized and we will all know instead of trying to guess, But I can give a educated guess that Butchie is pretty close not exact but close. Model 6 |

I would just put the Outlaws back in the west and the Knights back in the Central, There is no need for that switch Model 6 NFC North - Copperheads, Storm, Devils, Bengals, Cowboys East - Admirals, Saints, Punishers, Fire, Stallions AFC West - Cannons, Bulldogs, Bulls, (Knights), Tigers Central - (Outlaws), Canes, Lions, Phoenix, Warriors Edited by Coach Crow, Jan 13 2010, 10:04 AM.

I want to play the Outlaws and dont care if we are in the same divison cuz i think we will beat their a$$. Not to mention the chance to play them twice during the year will give us an advantage if we met in the playoffs, then if we didnt play at all during the season. They the ''supposed'' best adn defending champs so whatever. THAT said, i think model 6 sucks. The AFC is easily better than the NFC IMO in that model. Not to mention you got three of the best teams in the league in ONE division. Its no suprise to me that the person that made it (Punishers) is in the other conference... and the main person co-signing (Saints) it.. is also in the other conference. Set it up whatever way you want to. Hurricanes still gonna come out on top. |
