This expansion elite series is going to have a max of 20 participants if you all want to sign up. You basically make up an expansion team but 10 have to be East and 10 have to be West for this to make sense. Which every know and then there will be challenges and tournaments relating to this expansion elite series with the dates down in the description. Everyone can make trades with each other with there own rosters when everyone that participates signs up. When they are all complete and you use free agents only right now and expiring contracts next year for your teams. To make this competitive since anyone can get AR15, Wemby, Kawhi and other useful players since there contracts will expire next season. Which will be quite entertaining. Which after you create a team each of the tournaments that happen on seperate days they are mandatory unless you cannot do it for personal reasons.
I will post on a consistent basis after May 9th the top 10 and bottom 10 standings during this expansion elite series. Which is how this series will work. This will go on until June 20th.
Eastern expansion teams vs Western expansion teams Tournament 1: May 13th-May 20th
This will work by all 10 eastern expansion teams and 10 western expansion teams you guys made will face each other in which ones you will decide is better by posting a poll, asking others around in different posts or do it any way, to see which ones advance to the next round in this tournament. 1st round starts by 2 expansion teams getting eliminated after the best one and the worst one for each conference regardless if it is East or not. Then right after the first 2 expansion teams get eliminated the 2nd round starts and then another 2 expansion teams get eliminated afterwards the tournament is the NBA playoffs and the cycle continues then when its over the tournament is over.
Then aftewards this is when the trade period for all your teams come in and you have to post your rosters and comment which deals you guys all made. Which this time period where everyone can trade for each other. Which spans from May 21st - May 28th. Then right after the next tournament starts.
Expansion elite cup tournament 2: Every expansion team will fight to win in this tournament which lasts from May 29th - June 5th. In an NBA cup like tournament but with 20 teams only. I will organize random teams into 4 groups of 5 within the East and West. Which essentially means that there is a West group A and B. The same thing follows for the East. Then group play works by each team playing 4 games within there group. Which is determined by poll only instead of like games. Which there are only 4 winners going into the knockout rounds. Then afterwards the final 4 expansion teams may face each other but before the semi-finals. A wildcard match takes place against who lost in the quarterfinals and whoever wins that. For both East and West since, this will be like unfair they have 50/50 chance facing the team they just beat. But then afterwards if that team that was like safe lost that means that other team advances this is by poll of course and others opinions. Then the final 4 then it goes from there like the final 4 in March-Madness and the conference finals.
Final tournament I still have to think about.
