Hey guys - sorry I didn't have time to release the news yesterday, but here is our official news about the case: http://www.nhlgamer.com/news/50

Well, for the first tournament, you can have a standard league perhaps, top 16 goes to the playoffs and have it a good marketing platform and make the league grow. And make the divisions after the first cup is finished? And as Nephenzy are saying; for the smaller teams and teams that are new to EASHL it might be good enough for them to gain a promotion from div 3 to div 2 then loosing by double digits? Think about whats best for the community in the long run, have a small click of good teams in the tournament, or gain a much bigger community by involving more by having a "carrot" for them to, winning it all might not be the priority of all the teams, some teams just play for the fun of it :). I believe that close and even games are the most fun, not loosing or winning by 10 goals. With a division system, might take a couple of "Seasons" before it will be okay and even, but sooner or later it will. And you can have div 1 with less teams perhaps, making it harder to stay and win :). Div 1: 8 teams (4 teams playes semifinal after playing 2 games against all of the teams, season mode) 2 teams gets demoted. Div 2: 12 teams 2 teams promoted / 3 teams demoted. div 3: 12+ teams. 3 teams promoted.

Thanks everyone for your great thoughts and ideas! The first league will not have a higher and lower division. We might end up having to go to groups of some kind, but the first league will (in my opinion) be a fair starting point for all teams and then we can (hypothetically) divide teams into higher and lower divisions.

Divisions would help teams in the long run to not give up that easy on their team and start new ones also... if they automatically would start in the lowest as a new team. These are hard questions to discuss but in the end we all want great rivalry and good hockey games. Its´up to all of us to create something good together even if we fight as enemies on the ice. Every team cant win but every team play a big part in the product anyway.
