Bottom two performers in GA will drop to DPL. Top 2 performers in DPL will move up.


I doubt this will work. GA is club based not team based.


Agreed, but they should have playoffs based on the entire club. Each age plays each other and the best club advances


Clubs invest in staffing and facilities based on league affiliation. Players choose clubs based on league affiliation. Demoting a whole club would result in massive numbers of players leaving every season. Promoting a whole club would attract those same players to replace the current players. It would create more instability than anyone wants.

Because I think they should be. Duh.

Actually, like the original persons posting, the merger in our area ‘could’ shift some teams around given the current landscape.

A merger is a business deal where two existing, independent companies combine to form a new, singular legal entity

GA and DPL would not necessarily Merge as one would be a feeder to the other.

DPL and ECRL could merge and create something new.

DPL and NAL could merge and create something new.

DPL and Elite 64 could merge and create something new.

ECNL and ECRL are the same entitiy
GA and DPL are the same entitiy

There's a good chance that "merger" involves all 4.

This actually would be the best way to integrate ECNL and GA.

Sort of like a middle man
