I have looked it up on Wikipedia and understand the are 26 teams this year! However it wasn’t very clear on relegation. I also wondered, seeing in how the teams only play each other once, how do they decide which games are played home and away? Any other information that would be considered important would be great to know too! Hope you can help out.
As much as I like to watch basketball but I do find NBA is pretty hard to follow, there are just too many teams and games play each season, minimum of 82 games per team is just too much for anyone to keep up except for hardcore fans.
With the current system I do find there are few problems:
-
82 games are a lot to make every game becomes meaningful/important. I do feel 1 home and 1 away vs every team would be enough.
-
Less games would allow players to have better rest, more training times (I've seen several interviews where teams only able to train during preseason because of busy schedules)
-
There are no actual consequences if a team playing badly, in fact, they are given higher chance of getting rewards. Introduce relegation system, create high/lower leagues, bottom teams will get relegated and top teams from lower leagues will get promoted.

Super League basically has the same system as Euroleague with founding teams having license to play without relegation and a few wildcard/qualification spots.
I wonder having seen how it works with Euroleague how do you feel about this system?
The Union Football League System
The actual organization of the Union State’s Football League System arises from the four extant leagues - one from each Constituent Country - as well as the reality of the massive transit times which would be required were there to be a single Union league. To make up for this simple geographical problem, the GSSPF has decided instead that the best course of action is to continue the organizational structures of each independent league while adding a league specific to the Siberian and Far Eastern regions and reorganizing the Cup schedule around a larger scale Union tournament. The five leagues and their predecessors are below.
- Belarusian League, Belarusian Premier League
- Ukrainian League, Ukrainian Premier League
- Kazakh League, Kazakhstan Premier League
- Russian League, Russian Premier League
- Siberian League, No predecessor, only Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts
In addition to this league structure, the following three cup competitions will replace the traditional national cup competitions
- Russian Cup - Russian League Champion vs Siberian League Champion
- Union Cup - Replaces national Cup competitions, brackets determine 4 teams from each Country (Russia counted as one) to compete in a 16 team bracket
- Union Shield - 4 way bracket championship between Belarusian League, Ukrainian League, Kazakh League, and Russian Cup Championships
However it isn’t just the structure of the leagues which determines the Union Football System’s success. Heavy investment and infrastructure must be introduced into the youth development programs across the Union State. The GSSPF, with construction assistance provided by the GSLW shall organize the creation and operation of community sports centers, stadiums, training facilities, and other related facilities for the administration of community-wide sports and physical fitness activities. In total, all settlements with a population greater than 50,000 individuals shall have a community center built.
GSSPF shall also work with private interest groups to facilitate the
