BUDAPEST, May 4 (Reuters)(DS) - Hungary will cut the number of teams in its top division and divide it into two groups in a radical attempt to revive the ailing championship next season. From the 2000/2001 season only 16 teams will compete in the first division, compared to the current 17, the Hungarian
Football Association decided at a board meeting on Thursday. The top division will be made up of the top 14 teams from the current first division and two promoted clubs from the 20-team second division.
The teams will be divided into two groups of eight who will play each other home and away.
The top six teams from each group will qualify for the second part of the championship. Teams will carry forward points awarded for their finishing position - the winner of group A gets 12 points, the runner-up 10, the third-place team eight points and so on. The 12 teams then play against each other home and away to
arrive at the championship-winning side.
What do you guys think, is this a genious plan or just plain stupid??
I think it's a dope idea, reminds me of NHL playoff style. I hope is suceeds..
I think it's not going to work
