The MASL should hyper-regionalize and play as four independent divisions to cut down on travel costs. Something like this...
Midwest: Missouri Comets, Milwaukee Wave, St. Louis Ambush, Chicago Mustangs, Cedar Rapids. Detroit.
Mideast: Youngstown Nighthawks, Rochester Lancers, Syracuse Silver Knights, Harrisburg Heat, Baltimore Blast
Southwest: Tulsa Revolution, Dallas Sidekicks, Oxford City, Wichita B52s, Barracudas of Brownsville, Saltillo, Sonora.
Pacific Coast: Tacoma Stars, Sacramento Surge, Turlock Express, Ontario Fury, San Diego Sockers.
No need for flights. Play each team in your division at least twice home, twice away. Top two in each division plays each other in divisional final series. Have a final four all in one night at one of the four finalists. Only one flight on the year, and for three of the four strongest teams. That's a structure that works, right there.
