[QUOTE="riffraff, post: 807499, member: 74048"] Good observation. Being from the USA myself, I find the discussions interesting. To me it comes natural to have a franchise system with conferences that include guaranteed playoff spots, some sharing of costs, joint marketing and TV deals, etc. Yet then I read posts from people that find these ideas bewildering and insist on models that to me are equally hard to comprehend as logically better. That's the cool thing about an international discussion forum discussing an internationally appealing sport. It's a good chance to expand our perspectives and grapple with questions of what can work to grow the game on a world stage that is anything but homogenous and subject to the idiosyncrasies, traditions, politics, and economics of a wide range of countries. My hope is that solutions can be found that borrow from all the options to create something sustainable and wildly popular. If it can be extended to the USA successfully and tap into that market's TV dollars without corrupting the game, that could be the secret. [/QUOTE]
