How to run a league with 4 people
We have 4 people in our league we each have 2 teams so 8 teams total we just started it about 3 games ago any idea how to play it fairly? We are just kinda playing and sure how should we play or other teams or who plays who. How many games before finals or semi final any idea would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

The NBBL's first season went like this, with 4 teams.
Each team plays each other team twice. This allows for 6 weeks of games if you play 1 game per week. We then played with the two bottom teams for the round 1 semi's, then the winner of that played 2nd place, then the winner of that went into the final with who was in 1st place.
That's 9 weeks worth of games and adds up to about 3 months playing if you play on a weekly basis and allow for the odd week off.
Try it and see how it goes. It doesn't cater for 8 teams but you can just split it into 2 divisions and make it bi-weekly on a rotation basis.

check the other thread 'league sise'
There's some different approaches on that one
I'd make a very sceduled 'soccer' style league. This could allow all your teams to play eachother, also your own two teams.
have a friend play your second team. As you will play one of his teams once too, he won't act too weird.
In our league players even try to kill off their other teams' stars and big guys. Very funny that

Two Divisions.. one team in each. Play the games and playoffs. Yet if one person has both his/her teams playing eachother, then he/she decides which team is to go on.KnuckleGutKiller wrote:We have 4 people in our league we each have 2 teams so 8 teams total we just started it about 3 games ago any idea how to play it fairly?

That's what we are going to do.

I played in a four man league about a year ago. We used a fixed schedule. Each of us had 1 team for the first season. The next season we each had two teams.
One thing I didn't like was playing against my own team. Also, the fixed schedule is not very flexible. If one person can't make it a couple weeks in a row, the schedule bogs down.
After thinking about it, I'd rather play an open season where each team just plays each other team once or twice, without playing against your own team. That gets just a little too funky, both coaches tend to play differently than a normal game.
When the finals come around, try to arrange it so you don't have to play your own team (if playing more than one team) in the first round. Later on in the Semi's it's not such a big deal, because if both teams have made it there, you deserve whatever you have comming.
