Any interest in a league system with relegation and promotion?

Great, the Autumn league is under way. I’ll post results in this thread and also links to the winter tournaments, which will start in January.

Terra mystica (not in BGA) have a similar system

Its like 8 players per division - 1 division 1 - 2 divison 2 - 4 divison 3 and so on

Top 1 of each division go up and bottom two go down

Ever new player start at bottom division possible.

And about players who drop out and returning players they do this:
"Empty slots will be filled by returning players. A returning player may however not fill an empty slot higher in the league system than the player finished on the last season he/she played. If an empty slot can not be filled by a returning player, it will be filled by moving all lower ranked players upwards"

IMO this is much better than arena

I do like this system, I just don’t have the capacity to manage a full pyramid like that
