Two different things: each country has its own leagues, then there are continental contests. You cannot play in the continental contests if you have not performed really well in your local league the previous year. Best teams play at the same time in both national and continental.
That just sounds like a form of promotion.
I do like this idea but it would never work in the four major North American sports because you could send the 4 worst teams to play the best teams from other countries leagues and they would still destroy them.
Maybe NBA Europe or whatever thing the Emirates comes up with will change that
Seems akin to a two way contract in baseball. Haha.
Good point. I suppose it's mostly minor leagues, like I said initially.
Is it really premier when you have to send your four best teams to go play in a better league once a year? So yes it is exactly like triple A. In fact we should only describe it as such going forward.
In triple A baseball the best guys get called up to the major leagues to face better competition. In "premier league" soccer the best teams get called up to the Champions league to face better competition.
