Word from this weekend's events is that there are 10 teams competing in the 2024 "Elite" Divison this year, I think it waters down the league. What are the qualifications to compete at this level - that the program wants to so they can say they have an elite team? With FCA, Next Level, Breakers and Rough Riders joining the elite ranks it shows that any team can enter? These teams are solid A team but get smoked when they play the low-level Elite teams like Loonies and Crabs. I would even question Crabs this year as deserving to play in the Elite level. To be in the league you have to be able to hang, compete and beat some of the other top teams - 91, BLC, Hawks, Madlax. And will everyone play everyone else, it's a 7 game schedule so who gets to play all the newbies and pump up their records? The season should be extended to a 10 game season with a playoff for the top 5. Otherwise, these teams will end up succeeding or getting falsely pumped up depending on who they draw.
