In the past couple of years, we have seen the Master Premier Division go from 10 teams down to the current 8. Teams have been refusing promotion from Division 1, and Falconetti's has been struggling, to say the least, which leaves us with 7 competitive teams in Masters Premier.
Here's my solution: There are currently 10 teams in each of Division 1 and 2 and 8 in Premier. What if the VMSL makes 2 divisions of 14 teams? You take the top 6 Division 1 teams and promote them into Premier and the rest of the teams form Division 1. Two teams get relegated and promoted each season.
You would end up with lots of games for everyone and you wouldn't have a team like Falconetti's that is probably not enjoying their season in Premier this year. There might be a large quality gap overall from the top teams to the lower team in each division, but I think the gap would close over time.
Thoughts?
