What happens to the div below?
You just have more teams in Main. Arguably there were quite a few teams in advanced this season that couldn’t compete in the div. Looking at scrims you can see these teams going even with or losing to main teams. If you have better teams playing in main, it becomes a div that people want to play in again rather than something people just want to get out of by any means necessary.
Alternatively, you reintroduce challenger or put a limit on how many main teams there are.
Said this in the previous threads, if you can’t deal with telling teams they’re going to be in main because they’re going to be piss babies about it, you should resign.
What if teams die?
What do you do if teams die in invite? What did we used to do when advanced teams died when it was round robin? The possibility of teams dying doesn’t stop invite from being round robin. Additionally, nearly a third of the teams in Advanced this season died, and that causes a whole whack of problems in Swiss as well. Again this has been discussed to death in other threads.
Edit (I think if a team dies in RR you just turn that into a bye week both in the future and retroactively.)
Does Advanced follow invite in having league fees and a prize pool?
Imo you could do league fees and a prize pool main and up but the format of the division and whether or not there’s a prize pool are two completely separate issues, one doesn’t have anything to do with the other and bringing it up here just distracts from the actual problem.
Does Advanced have qualifiers
Only if you don’t do it the weekend before the first match of the season (because that was an incredibly stupid decision).
You’re making this seem way more difficult than it actually is
If Advanced had never been round robin and you were trying to figure things out for the first time, that would be more understandable. However, Advanced has been round robin before, you have a point of reference for what to do. This is obviously anecdotal, but I haven’t heard a single player say they’ve wanted Advanced to not be round robin, but there’s a whole lot of us saying that we do.
