| As many of you know, Antwon (CFFL) and I have met in the last 2 days to at least have an open discussion of our two leagues working together. To what extent and the format is not yet decided but we both agree that some type of compromise or understanding needs to be reached for the betterment of the game.
These are some of the different options we have discussed, we may or may not do one of them for the spring......it is just 1 week away, or possibly begin planning for the fall to impliment.
I would like as much feedback as possible and putting your name and team on your reply's would help tremendously.
OPTION 1
NO MERGER WHATSOEVER
Hartford and Waterbury would remain seperate indipendant leagues with there own playoffs and champions. Teams would have a chance to play each other in the Annual "King of CT" tournament held in August. We would make the event a joint venture between the leagues (50/50)
OPTION 2..........
MERGER A (Playoffs Only)
Divisions
Waterbury will have 3 divisions, Hartford will have 5 divisions
Divisions will Be balanced based on last year teams successes
Teams will play their each team in their division once
Inter League
NO Interleague Games Regular Season
Playoffs
Waterbury will have 3 divisions. 2 divisions in the “AFC” and 1 division the “NFC to ensure playoffs mix totaling 3 “guaranteed” playoff spots out of 12 available
Hartford will have 5 divisions..2 in the AFC and 3 in the NFC totAling 5 “guranteed PLAYOFF spots out of 12 available
Pro Playoffs A division
Division Winners will receive automatic Playoff bid
Next 4 best records in each confference (8 Total)will fill rest of “Pro” Bracket
B division Playoffs
next 12 best records any league
2, 20 minute halfs
C division PLayoffs
next 12 best records any league
2 ,20 minute halfs
MERGER B (1 week inter league play)
Divisions
Waterbury will have 3 divisions, Hartford will have 5 divisions
Divisions will Be balanced based on last year teams successes
Teams will play their each team in their division once
Inter League
Waterbury's top 12 seeds will play Hartfords top 12 seeds thgis week...
1vs1...2vs2... etc etc... based on the current standings in the league...
teams not in top 12 in current standings will play regualat “In League” schedule
Playoffs
Waterbury will have 3 divisions. 2 divisions in the “AFC” and 1 division the “NFC to ensure playoffs mix totaling 3 “guaranteed” playoff spots out of 12 available
Hartford will have 5 divisions..2 in the AFC and 3 in the NFC totAling 5 “guranteed PLAYOFF spots out of 12 available
Pro Playoffs A division
Division Winners will receive automatic Playoff bid
Next 4 best records in each confference (8 Total)will fill rest of “Pro” Bracket
B division Playoffs
next 12 best records any league
2, 20 minute halfs
C Division Playoffs
next 12 best records any league
2 ,20 minute halfs
OPTION 3
Each league mantains their own schedule and status.
One week in the season (predetermined), would be designated as a cross-over or rivalry week. Format simiar to above, where the current standings at that time will dictate the match-ups. For example, we take the standings at the end of week 6 and create the week 7 schedule with Waterbury #1 vs Hartford #1, Waterbury #2 vs Hartford #2 and so on down the line.
The playoffs are held independently.........
PLAYOFF SCENARIO #1
Complete each playoff, crowning seperate league champions then have each leagues final 4 teams play an addition playoff to crown a state champion. This would be a single say playoff with the seeding as follows
W1 vs H4
W2 vs H3
W3 vs H2
W4 vs H1
Winners advance to semi-finals and then Championship.
