New teams into old league

How do you folks deal with bringing new teams into an existing league?
Do you organize the schedule based on team rating? Do you give the new players extra cash? Do you make the returning players pay for their spps? Or do you just make the new teams suck it up and deal.

Our league runs a two tiered system in which players can coach three teams at a time. We have 4 major tournaments a year, and only one of your teams can compete in these scheduled games. Your other teams are in the minor leagues, and can play a game against whatever minor league team they can talk into a game. New coaches generally leave their teams in the minor leagues and build up strength before challenging the bigger teams in the majors.

Big teams that get whupped up on badly go back to the minors to recuperate. It's an interesting system, but works only becasue we have a very active league.

I don't think we could quite hack that since we usually on do one game a week, but it is a good idea.

we don't have a schedule at all, some coaches just play more games than others (tho we have a limit of 3 a week), so their teams will be bigger. A new coach would just want to seek out games with other new people, or coaches that don't play as much.

So essentially... It would work out like a strength of schedule thing. The higher rated teams play the other high rated teams. Thanks.

We have something like this about to happen in our league...

Some of the new coaches want free SPP so that they can match up to the other teams better...
