I think ever one should be able to win. But at the same time playing
heavily mismatched games isn't great in the summer, never mind when
its freezing. You have booked good weather haven't you Andy?

I guess option A is the best compromise, and it does not require you
to change the schedule.
Also it means teams in the lower groups have something to aim for. (
You might have to make a second trophy though?)
Not sure what Nick means by a shuffle though? Do you ask some one to
split the pack, then push the two halves together?

I guess he means promotions?

Does spliting the league mean that the upper League games will have
longer pitch time, the better pitchs and better facilities while the
lower group has to come up songs to sing after games and wear togas?
