take_your_pill Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I think when both Gens A and B playoffs are over there should be an extra round to determine the "ultimate" team of both leagues.... haha, i know it sounds weird, but its a good idea. what do you think? Gens A cup winner VS Gens B cup winner..... one round, best of 7..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gens A cup winner VS Gens B cup winner..... one round, best of 7..... Seems simple enough. Even if it's just for bragging rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BSDaemon Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I have no problem doing that for fun.. but really it means nothing, since it's a pretty good bet that the A champ will beat the B champ.... so yeah it doesnt really mean much. I think it should be optional for the champs, and not a league requirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halifax Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Wouldn't that be like the Stanley cup Champion playing the Calder Cup champion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BSDaemon Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Wouldn't that be like the Stanley cup Champion playing the Calder Cup champion? Yes, very much so. And while I don't have a problem with it, it has to be understood that it means absolutely nothing. But really, I'm all for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halifax Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I'd like to see The SNES A and the GENS A champions cross platforms and play a summit series...4 games on each system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really, I'm all for it Oh, I don't think it means absolutely nothing. The different league winners get to keep their cups and everything, but I think if the WBC and WBA champions meet up in the ring, it definitely means something!

Guest BSDaemon Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Well I know if i was the B champ and I was facing the A champ... I wouldn't let it ruin my day if I lost to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePimpImp Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 The summit series has some merit. I think it should be done. That would mean something. Meaning your not the best at nhl 94 on gens or snes but the best at nhl 94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BSDaemon Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I think that's a cool idea. And if we wanted to take it a step farther, we could make some sort of tournament, just for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gens A cup winner VS Gens B cup winner..... one round, best of 7..... Letting the B League champ play the A League champ undermines the A league. No offense to B League, but the point is to move up to A. My opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePimpImp Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 My better idea would be end of all the playoffs. While the new leagues are setting up we could do a tourney. Say 6 of top 8 from B divs from both conosles (ties broken by reg season pts) Both finalists from B divs from both consoles Then make some kind off playoffs or tournament bracket with the home team having console choice. Would see who is the best at both consoles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense to B League, but the point is to move up to A. My opinion. Pish posh. That's a terrible reason to not play hockey. It's like when my roommates and I used to bet beers. If you won a bet and lost a bet, the beers did NOT cancel out - you each owed each other beer. The point was to CREATE BEER. Saying that we shouldn't "let" the B League champ play the A League champ because the B league guy hasn't earned it, pish posh. We must always CREATE HOCKEY.

Guest BSDaemon Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Like I said, don't make it a requirement for the league, but make it optional. Maybe the B champ doesnt feel comfortable playing the A champ and having to listen to the "im the overall champ!" crap. some coaches may be into it, others not. let them decide.

No offense to B League, but the point is to move up to A. My opinion. Maybe I'm wrong, but I always kind of figured that the point of A and B league was simply that we had too many interested players for one league and had to split them in two. I never imagined that the point was to make sure players were segregated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never imagined that the point was to make sure players were segregated. I think maybe his point was that the 'A' league champ is considered to be the overall champion of their console (GENS/SNES) because (I assume) that the 'A' leagues have the best GENS/SNES players and thus shouldn't be scheduled (forced) to play a series with their B league champions. But certainly if either GENS or SNES champ wanted to play a series with their B champ then they could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always under the impression that the A league guys were seasoned veterans and the best of the bunch, hence why the players who wanted to be in the A league who were unknown had to prove that they had the skill required.

That may be the method that was to divide the groups, but the reason we have multiple groups at all is simply because we have a lot of players. For example, if there were only 20 players, and 10 were considered veterans and 10 were considered rookies, I really don't think we'd have a 10-team A League and a 10-team B League, just to make sure that the newer players don't get to play the veterans.
