Thought I'd post my thoughts on the issue of number of divisions here
one big league would take a long time to play, 10 day rounds mean that, even with only 16 teams it would take 150 days per cycle, that's 5 months, relatively, quite a long time.
By comparison a split into two or more divisions has the problem of how to split the teams, while the faster cycles would mean that this evens out over a long period.
If anyone has any ideas about how to effectively and evenly split the teams then this would be my prefered option. |

Yes all the bashers in one division me and everyone else in another
To be honest I think that a random draw of teams per div is the fiarest way to start with until a seeding as been established after the first season. |

well id suggest that maybe the first 50% of app's go in league 1 and the 2nd 50% go in league 2, then after season 1 its top half from each division in 1 league and bottom half in league 2. then gives scope for a 3rd league to be added if this proves popular. |

I think that splitting the league into two, if we only have 16, is probably the way to go.
A randomized split would solve the splitting teams problem, then for the first season a 50% split up and down would work, but after that i would go with 2 or 3 up and down, to increase the challenge of being promoted and build up a better scrap at the bottom of the league |

The plan is definitely to have two divisions rather than one big one. As mentioned above, it'd take too long to complete all fixtures and far too many teams would find themselves facing meaningless fixtures once the season is half way through.
One possibility would be to have two "conferences" in the NFL sense, with end of season playoffs between the top teams in each division and culminating in the Wight Bowl being played between the two conference champions. That's just one possibility, though. |

that would be interesting, as it would mean that, there not being a "top" division, everyone has the chance to get their hands on the silverware
The league could then be rearranged after one season so that the coaches get some variation.
P.S what are we playing for, an idea about what the winner gets may provide another incentive for coaches to join
P.P.S what hoffmeister said |

We will accept 3 more teams into the WIBBL if anyone else wishes to join. After that all teams will go onto a waiting list. So if you are interested get in there quickly. |

Two of those should really be the Halfling/Elf entries, right? |

given that we have 21, what happens now? 3 more teams seems ideal, but if we are stuck with an odd number of teams, do we split into 3 leagues of 7 and run from there, or what? |
