I just realized that the Southampton Cyclones were playing in Virginia this weekend at the festival. Not comparing how good teams are in any division but shouldn't each team in your division play a similar schedule. The Brawlers, Savage Wolves, and Nightmare play the teams in the Northeast as well as their own division, but both Pittsburgh teams and the Cyclones play the teams in Southeast as well as their own division. That definately affects the standings b/c teams aren't playing the same teams outside their division.
I don't know how good the Southeast is but the Cyclones did pretty well down there by the looks of their scores, and they don't have to play the likes of Boston, Long Island and Suffolk like we do.
At every level including NHL, teams in each division play a similar schedule to make it fair for every team.
Either our division(Mid-Atlantic) should all play the teams in the South or all play the teams in Northeast that way no one can complain because we all played the same teams.
I'm just saying that its odd to me on whoever made these schedules up that each team in each division does not have a similar schedule thats all. I may be wrong here, but let me know what you guys think.

Your absolutely correct. each team play the same outer division teams. I know why they did because of travel.

I think it is unfair that they are playing games againt the southeast but they are not the only team in your division which is playing southeast teams. Scottsdale has 4 games next weekend agaisnt southeast teams. Steel City plays southeast teams later in the season.

Philly, NJ, and Garden State do not play against the southeast teams which is unfair. Hopefully next season maryland will get a chance to play all of these 3 teams.

To put it simply the teams begged for crossover games and 3 teams had to go south and 3 had to go north. Yes it may seem unfair to people that we got to come down here for games and you have to go north. Tell your owners to bring it up on a league conference call and maybe it can be changed for next year. Remember the owners voted for crossovers if possible. The teams over here made it happen.
