MPL has been stale for the last 4 or 5 seasons, why not 8 teams play 2 rounds (14 games) that determines league winner, then another competition whereby top 6 break away to play for Major Premiership (various permutations) + South Island League, importantly bottom 2 drop into Div 1 (various permutations) to fight for promotion. Current format has teams 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 sometimes 7 playing for nothing with 2 or 3 of games to go. Just putting it out there.
