at the least, every team would have the same thing to bitch about.
the format in 2000 was, id say, acceptable because there were 2 groups. one group of 5 and one of 6 (Yukon sent a horrible team at the last moment) we played 6 games in 6 or 7 days including the final.
the only dumb rule was that you could only be awarded a win by a maximum of 5 goals reardless of the outcome. we tied Ontario 1-1 in the 1st game and it was a race from then on to beat the other teams by at least a 5-0 score. we were able to shut everyone out while Ontario beat NFLD 4-0 and their hopes were done (they beat Quebec 4-1 or something like that on the last day too)
the other group was a bit more competitive from what i remember.
question: why cant someone come up with a good format?
