[JB987]

I'm not inherently against using a two tier system. I do have concerns with the logistics (the details where the Devil lies sometimes). Out of fairness, will events be rotated between cities, will regional event teams have the exact same chance as district teams to place in the premier league using some new district/regional performance metric, and do you weigh previous or current season results more (or equal) when doing so? Can a hybrid of options b and c be formulated? I prefer weighing current season results more than previous seasons for some of the reasons previously posted by others but I wonder if teams would front end load on early season regional events for their one or two only shots at qualification to ensure enough time to arrange flights and hotels, etc...

I certainly would prefer a two tiered system over an added, minimally attended final championship after the two events to identify a 'true' champion...as long as qualification opportunities are the same across the board regardless of regional or district origin.
