[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the only club ripe for relegation right now would be STJ. They are basically at the bottom of the table across all age groups, and I don't see how they are going to build back up anytime soon. I feel like everyone else is either doing "well enough" or is too new to the league for relegation to Aspire to really be a topic of conversation for them right now. [/quote]
You cant do promotion relegation with p2p leagues because youd have to do it by club not by team. This is not a GA or any other specific league thing. Its why bottom feeders exist and tend to always be the same clubs. [/quote]
I wasn't talking promotion/relegation on a year to year basis, I was just saying if there was going to be a team in the MA South to get Relegated to Aspire it would be STJ. They have shown themselves over the last few years to be perennially at the bottom of the table, with no real improvement in sight. They don't have any real leadership, they don't have any fields, they don't seem to have much of a pipeline, and the vast majority of their impact players left.... But GA would probably want to replace them with someone so that there would be an even number of teams in the conference. They could relegate 2 clubs to Aspire to keep the number even, but like I said every other club is either doing well enough, or too new to the league for relegation to really be a topic of conversation for them. STJ may stay just through sheer luck, unless another team gets added to the MA South in the near future.[/quote]
I also think STJ is going to “test” the GA leadership’s criteria on what it takes to stay in GA. GA now has enough teams that they can be more selective. 
In terms of # of teams, GA has 12 conferences and 4 have an odd number of teams. So they are not against it. 
For replacement, I’d look to add somebody like VA United. Doubt VA United can make the jump to ECNL NL. Gives you another part of the state.[/quote]
