You could still incorporate a modified double elimination second round with something.

or if you make the teams play each other twice in the first round.
Minimum games played: 6
Maximum Games played: 10

I mean if you really want to, you can have the first round one year and the second round another year. Their are many ways this could go.
1. Have the teams play each other twice in round robin in the first round then do modified double elimination in the second round.
2. Have the teams play each other twice in round robin in the first round one year then the next year then do modified double elimination.
3. Have the teams play each other once in round robin in the first round then do modified double elimination in the second round.
4. Have the teams play each other once in round robin in the first round one year then the next year then do modified double elimination.
Or they could just do what I said in my last post and have everyone play each other twice(I didn't say how many times in my last post) in the first round round robin then just do a semi-final and final round.
