Re: What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

I think it's unlikely to happen, as there is a financial cost to having a new name (all the banners, etc). However, this did spawn an idea that would be less costly than renaming all the fields each year.

What if the winning division got "naming rights" to the championship field, and then was retired? For 2015, retire Einstein (and Archimedes, Galileo & Newton) as a field name, and the divisional winners get to play off on the Curie field. For 2016, retire the Curie name and the winners get to play off on a field named for the division that wins in 2015. This allows for some name rotation, reduces the cause of cycling all the fields from year to year, and seems like a good way to celebrate braking the "Curie curse".
