Re: An interesting situation with a D2-only team
Ok so i've been out of the game for a while since I graduated last May but I still keep in contact with everyone on the team.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but why are you splitting the field into 2 divisions if you only have 7 teams in the upper and 24 teams overall?
