I was wondering if the IFL still have the team consept? I noticed that there are only 5 teams this year compared to last and now at last nights show thay didn't even have the team consept. Did they (IFL) change this? Any ways I was there last night and had great time met some of the fighters and even got my picture taken with a couple of the fighters Thanks for a great time IFL!! EG

Yes, they have dismantled the team concept.

I was really starting to like the concept of a team organized. It really made it interesting. Does anyone know why they stopped it?

Because you were the only one who liked it. Just joking.

I'm not sure where I read it, but I do recall an article that I'll summarize and paraphrase:

The team concept makes perfect sense and sounds good on paper. Baseball, basketball, football, soccer - sports fans are used to team sports. Combine the fastest growing sport with the team concept and you've got a homerun. - right?

Not necessarily.

Imagine team boxing, or golf, or ...

It's a shame it didn't work. It really did make a lot of sense.

They're going with 'camps' this time, which makes more sense, but it looks like too little too late.
