[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 814513, member: 55446"] We can definitely reduce the number of games we play in the domestic season without reducing the teams by making it so not everyone plays home and away. It makes the league slightly unbalanced, but teams that lose out one season gain in the next, so it should be okay. [LIST] [*]3 pools of 5 teams. Maybe: [LIST] [*]Bristol, Worcester, Gloucester, Bath, Exeter [*]Falcons, Leicester, Northampton, Sale, Yorkshire [*]Irish, Sarries, Quins, Wasps, Welsh [/LIST] [*]2 games with teams in your group, 1 with teams outside. (15 games) [*]Top 2 from each group go through plus two more. Quarters, semis and finals. (3 games) [*]18 in total. [/LIST] But I would also do something quite different as well. I'd split a year into the club season and the international season. I think players going backwards and forewords between club and country means having to insert gaps all over the season so that players can train and get to speed with the environment. It would be more practical to split the two out. Stealing dullonien's idea: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/v9v4QCZ.jpg[/IMG] Even with all this, this is a 40-game season for an international. I would enforce rest periods in the Domestic season. e.g. you cannot play more than 5 games in a row without having a rest. This would mean an international would play a maximum of 35 games. I also think that there should be some kind of domestic cup on whilst the internationals are away. [/QUOTE]
