    Should the league go Geogrphical or non geographical?

    And by my count that makes it an even 700 threads about realignment on bigsoccer.

    The reason I ask is because the two LA teams would play nine times at the Home Depot center. Do we want that? Is it fair? Is it a good idea?

    I'd love to see two divisions, 32 games.

    Hunt Conference
    Columbus Crew
    Dallas FC
    Chicago Fire
    LA Chivas
    Kansas City Wizards
    DC United


    Dewer Conference

    Salt Lake City Sting
    Colorado Rapids
    LA Galaxy
    New York Metros

    I understand why you ask, I was just pointing out the fact that this same issue has been discussed many, many times already on bigsoccer.

    Fair?

    So West teams go to Carson two more times. Would it be any different if Chivas was in San Diego. Its still 2 more road games regardless of location? How is it unfair? All the other teams in the west get 2 more home games as well?

    20 games for W vs W( or E vs E)
    move a team like KC or Dallas to the East
    12 games (home and home) for E vs W

    32 games

    where is the unfairness?

    Why would the two LA teams play nine times at the HDC?

    12 teams.
    play the other 5 teams in your conference 4 times each = 20 games
    play the 6 teams in the other conference 2 times each = 12 games

    Now, conceivably, if they want to keep 30 games (as opposed to going back to 32), there could be two teams in the other conference that you only play once (one just at home, one just away).

    But if the Galaxy and Chivas are in the same conference, they should only play each other four times. Not nine. All four games would be at the HDC.

    Or is this like the "Can someone explain the math to me?" thread again?

    Kenn, there's three types of people on BigSoccer. Those who can do math, and those who can't.
