What weeks are tiers adjusted?

[5barwarrior]

I was planning on after every three weeks if we had 4 teams in a tier. That way, you play each person in the tier, you get ranked, and the appropriate team moves up and down.

The situation we have right now is that we have 11 teams which prevents you from making any kind of even groups. The easiest division would be two groups of 5 and 6. I would have to run the numbers again, but the rotation would depend on the group with 5 as you don't want them to play too many games with three teams.

We'll see after tonight.

What would be wrong with 4-4-3 (3 tiers)? Teams move up/down in the first two tiers only.

[Jester]

Because then tier 3 would have to play 3 team every week which is lame. With 11 teams there is always going to have to be a 3 team table unless a team is absent.

[5barwarrior]

If you have 4-4-3, the bottom three teams will play the same two opponents each and every week.

You need a minimum of 4 teams in a tier.
