And you have a National Champ.

128--64--32--16--8--4--2.

The season would be over for half the teams after week one. For 90% of teams
it would be over after 4 weeks. That would reduce much of the angst trying to play a long season.

Matchups are drawn up randomly. Same with determining Home or Away team.

If a team has no desire to play or can't play(Covid),then they forfeit.

Much better system for this year than trying to play a bunch of meaningless games in such difficult times.
