Ventiiliga

Ventiiliga is a fictional intercontinental sports league used in world-building and game design to illustrate the organization of multi-division competitions. The name combines venti-, from Italian twenty, and liga, from Latin liga, reflecting its in-world meaning as a twenty-team, multi-tier framework.

Typically, ventiiliga features twenty clubs divided into two divisions of ten, playing a double round-robin within each division. The top teams may qualify for a continental-style cup, while the bottom teams are relegated to a lower division. The league structure often includes promotion and relegation, as well as inter-division playoffs to determine final placements and access to upper tiers in subsequent seasons.

A central body, the Ventiiliga Council, issues competition rules, broadcasting standards, and prize funds; revenue from media rights and sponsorships is distributed under a model intended to balance competitive balance and financial stability across member clubs. Governance mechanisms commonly address scheduling, disciplinary rules, transfers, and international-style transfer windows, with provisions for club licensing and financial fair play.

In use, ventiiliga serves as a flexible template for exploring topics such as scheduling efficiency, competitive balance, revenue sharing, and governance in large, multi-division leagues. It appears in world-building literature, design discussions, and some video games as a basis for constructing plausible, internally consistent sports ecosystems.
