Bermuda Football Association executive Craig Tyrrell would like to see the current league set-up rearranged to include three, eight-team divisions.

Speaking following Tuesday's special AGM which saw Larry Mussenden sworn in as the new BFA president, Tyrrell, who was re-elected as a club representative, said that it was his personal view that a three-tier league structure would enhance the local game.

Tyrrell made the statement in response to a reporter's question, asking whether the idea of reverting the Premier Division back to 10 teams was being contemplated.

"That idea was bandied about, but no resolution was reached," said Tyrrell, also the competitions committee chairman. "But I believe it'll come up again at future meetings.

"My personal feeling is that I like the eight-team league and, personally, would like to see three eight-team leagues, and have us do something with the Commercial League A, with more of a relegation and promotion end.

"I think that will help to improve the level of football in Bermuda."

Such a move would, in theory, involve one team being dropped from the current nine-team First Division to bring that number down to eight, with the top seven from the Commercial League A Division completing what would then become the Second Division.

Affiliates were successful in their efforts to eliminate the play-off system introduced last year to decide whether a second team would be relegated or promoted, with the seventh-placed Premier club battling the second-placed First Division finisher over two legs.

The set-up was largely viewed as being favourable to the Premier side, which would have experienced play at a consistently higher level throughout the year. Reinstituted was the automatic two up, two down system.

Tyrrell said that he did not quite see the play-off as having an inherent disparity problem, however could understand the frustration of a team from the lower flight in seeing their hard work throughout the season evaporate.

"I don't necessarily feel the Premier team to have been at an advantage, because I think that, in a lot of instances, there is a great parity between the teams," said Tyrrell. "But I do think it's unfortunate for teams that work hard all season in the First Division to do what they need to do to put themselves in position, to not get recognised and have to play a play-off, a one-on-one situation, which is basically a crapshoot.

"I think this works out better. Look at Ireland Rangers, who for two seasons have been denied the opportunity to move up based on changes made to the regulations.

"Now, hopefully, if they can do the same as they did in past seasons, they'll be rewarded for it."
