Joe Molinaro - Makes sense to me to have east coast / west coast. Sent from my iPhone

Doug Lew - I thought it was random (mainly based off of place standings from 2012)? If we went to a east and west coast, it might be harder to switch up divisions if we wanted in the future.

[Chris - D-Town Diamond Dusters]

The divisions are based upon the 2012 standings, but actually worked out pretty close to an east/west format. The new team will remain in the same division, but we can reassess after 2014.

[Kenji - Raccoon City Swarmers]

Agreed with Chris

[Joe - Milwaukee Brewers]

agreed,lets make the changes NEXT YEAR ,2015

[Doug - Tatooine Tusken-Raiders]

Reset the divisions every few years and use the playoffs to set the divisions?

[Chris - D-Town Diamond Dusters]

The plan is to reassess after 2014 - make sure the divisions are equally competitive. Usually I check that by adding together the total wins and losses for the division. If both divisions are close to .500, then there is no need for a change. If one division has a .600 overall and the other below .500, then obviously a change needs to be made. I won't let this league turn out like the Eastern/Western conference split in the NBA.
