[quote author=dew link=topic=719.msg7374#msg7374 date=1346082419]<br />let me just say i didn&#039;t even realize this retarded rule was in place (lol board head) and it needs to change immediatelly after this season ends. kgb doesn&#039;t deserve a homefield advantage no matter how you look at it and i am pissed off.<br />[/quote]<br />When confronted about this, Ralphis explained that this rule rewards the winners of each division regardless of record. However, the conflict arises when one team gets a free pass to homefield because their division was lackluster or had a disaster of team such as SGS or MAD. Another factor is the one in which you are talking about: a division winner has a lower record than a team in a rival division. With this rule, a once a team loses the chance to win their div but lands a playoff spot, there is no incentive to play the rest of the season. SUC is an example since Ralph half-assed the remaining of his season after week 6.<br /><br />Perhaps the board and commissioner should look into the elimination of divisions so scenarios like this do not occur anymore. In addition, a shorter schedule would be achieved with the elimination.
