Agree that scheduling issues could be the biggest problem.
While, as in any league, weaker teams will always lose more often than not, there are not so many near whitewashes when the level of the opponents is closer together.
Am not overly bothered one way or the other at the moment, just really slow at work this morning so started replying to Charlie's post as a way to pass time and it kind of grew into a monster. Wrote it more on how things could work as a whole, rather than expecting a response to each point individually.
Now onto more pressing thoughts of whether wecan beat Ralph and his G-lovers

Here is an idea (similar to something Lenny and others have talked about in the past) that could create a skill-based league that is flexible and still connected as a whole.
Assuming a total of 32 teams and 20 regular weeks to play, we would begin the season just like always, with 4 divisions. During the first 7 weeks, each team plays every other team within its division. After that, the top 4 teams from each division go into the A league, and the bottom 4 from each division go into the B league.

The next thirteen weeks would be enough for almost every team in A league to play every other team in A league, and the same for B league. Wins would be added up, and the top 8 teams in A league would enter the A-league playoffs. Same for B league.

In the following season, teams would be evenly distributed among the divisions based on how they performed in the previous season. Most A league teams would again win the right to stay in the A league, but they would first have to earn that right by finishing in the upper half of their division.

I'm not sure about scheduling conflicts involving bars with multiple teams, but I think it could be worked out. I also don't know if this would make the league more enjoyable for most participants or not, but it does seem like a practical way to guarantee that the majority of games are played between people of similar ability without locking teams into the upper or lower division.

-The problem I see with doing this mainly, is that players migrate too often to judge the overall skill level of the team.
The only way to do this is if the league creates the Teams. Who's in favor of that?
I'm not.
you could be paired with teamates your not particularly fond of.

Are you kidding me, Mark? I am already on a team filled with people I am not fond of. Not fond of at all.
Most of them talk funny, and three of them even hold their cues in the wrong hand, for crying out loud. It's embarrassing.
One of them - who, incidentally, talks funny AND holds his cue in the wrong hand - has the audacity to publicly mock me with clownish imitations of how I walk. Disgraceful.
If it weren't for the fact that I am obviously carrying this team, and if each player hadn't approached me personally and begged me not to leave the team, I would happily play on a randomly selected team.
