[quote=Anonymous]NCLS and EDP will move underperforming teams to a more appropriate level of competition, although they don't always do things perfectly.  In CCL and VPL, the same teams will be used as punching bags year after year.  You also have to look at the reasons behind the NCSL or EDP statistics.  NCLS U16 division 1, for example, has two teams (Alexandria and ODFC) with big negative goal difference.   They will most likely be moved down next season.  ODFC was moved up to division 1 directly from division 3 in which they finished 2nd with plus 10 goal difference.  Alexandria finished 5th in division 2 the previous season with plus 2 goal difference so I am not sure why they were promoted.   I think these teams belong in division 2.   If NCSL stuck to the traditional pro/relegation model and promoted ODFC to division 2 rather than division 1 and kept Alexandria in division 2 until they finished in the top two places, then these two teams would have had a different experience in division 2.  The NCSL and EDP have not achieved perfection, but I suspect that Alexandria and ODFC U16 teams will have a more positive season next year.    [/quote]
