Which brings up an interesting question for Will - if the Barbarians perform better overall than the Keepers, does that make the Barbarians the new A league?
Here's the skinny on that (from post 855 over on the regular MBBRL thread). Especially check out the last paragraph.
Relegation
There are two unusual things about the MBBRL - Relegation, and the B-League Drone. We'll get to the Drone in a later post, but here's the skinny on Relegation:
In normal circumstances, two teams will move up from the B league to the A league and two teams will move down from the A league to the B league. Teams moving down will be determined by power rankings. In the event of a tie, H2H will be the first tiebreaker, breakdown record will be the second tiebreaker, total points the third tiebreaker -- and if we still have a tie, whoever does better in a Fantasy Playoff Challenge to be determined.
The two teams moving up from the B League will go according to these criteria:
1. Champion
2. Regular season breakdown leader
3. Top seed
4. Regular season power rankings leader
5. Regular season points leader
If the B League champion meets all the other criteria, only a single team moves up (and only a single team moves down). Otherwise, the other B League team with the top-most criterion also moves up. (In the unlikely event of a tie, we'll again go to a Fantasy Playoff Challenge as the tiebreaker.)
To Spice Things Up
If in the regular season the B league outscores the A league, FOUR teams move instead of two. If that happens and the B League criteria above doesn't provide four teams, we'll use playoff seeding for the rest. If the B league outscores the A league by more than 480 FF points, SIX teams move.
