ECNL is going to be seriously growing in 2 years as you know every one of these clubs being added to ECRL has a pathway to get ECNL depending on performance next year in ECRL.

I also wonder how the ECRL-2 works. So lets take Slammers for example. If that ECRL-2 team performs and gets elevated then Slammers would then have 3 ECRL teams since they already have 2. This is if I'm understanding how ECRL-2 works? Or does the ECRL-2 Slammers team just get to complete in the ERCL playoffs and win it and then has to go back next year to the ECRL-2 league?

Maybe, if that's what they want more power to them.

One of the nice things about having two leagues is clubs can leverage potentially joining the other league to pressure getting into the league they want to play in.

What's going to be interesting is if leagues ever start dropping teams from their highest level of play for non-performance. If this ever happened the dropped club would be forced to stay with whatever league dropped them down because nobody wants other leagues discards.

Isn't that what happened to Striker's girls, they lost ECNL and GA didn't take them.
