ncih it is and isn't at the same time. If the owners keep each other in check fine, BUT if you have an A-hole owner who starts the league and than realigns the divisions in his favor it cause problems. I had a league where an owner requested a specific realign which put me and 3 other tough owners in the same division, opposite conference from him, and guess who was in his division? You guessed it 5 brand spanking new owners. We called him out on it all season, and he finally admitted stating and I quote "Im tired of having the deck stacked against me"
