Tradition Rich Metro East Conf

What's up with the standings in the TRME? As far as I know, no team plays two games against all of the other teams. HM plays STA and Mahtomedi twice each, and all other teams just once. But on the whole, it's all over the map. Last season, teams played anywhere from 8 to 11 conference games. Granted, there could have been a postponement involved.
And if hockeyhub is to be believed, each game is worth only 2 points. (You young whipper snappers moment warning) Back in the day, Hill played in the City Conference, and also played an unbalanced schedule. Each of the 3 games agin' STA and Johnson was worth 2 points, each of 2 games vs Harding was worth 3 points, and the single games with Central and Humboldt were worth 6 points. It would be pretty simple to do that in the TRME, with each season series good for 4 points. If hockeyhub is to be believed, last season Tartan had the ability to go 10-1 for 20 points, and win the championship over am 8-1 STA.
This is all hardly worth the bits and bytes expended here. No one really cares about conference championships, and it's always going to be HM, or STA, or Mahtomedi anyway. But it seems like as long as you're going to go to the bother of keeping track of such things, you may as well make a simple change and do it right.
I must concede, it would be a monumental shift for the TRME, which is like the Vatican, in that they both look at centuries the way newer. lesser institutions look at months. Neither the TRME nor the Vatican is known for rash changes in policy, so patience is most assuredly called for.
And I wouldn't mind playing STA and the Zephyrs three times each season. But Hill's schedule is pretty good as it is, so maybe not.
