We cant play 3 away games in countries that start at bad times... its not fair.

 

[Griffo]

Its the way it works, the other system would create less even games

 

[Hooper]

So if it was 6 weeks, would i be playing 6 games away?

 

[Griffo]

No you would be 3 weeks at home and 3 weeks away, as the main benefit of the 6 game system is equal home and away games

 

[Hooper]

So why do teams have to play 3 away games? Why cant it be even? So teams dont play at like 12am?

 

[Griffo]

Because we created it to make it more even, if we have 2 home games and 1 away game it would still be uneven and there would be no consistency in who gets the home games depending on team strength

In order to make the competition more competitive the teams rated as the better are not given a home field advantage to make the games more competitive.

But Murderers won the last comp and i'm away to them. Shouldn't that be how teams are seeded?

No, I think it was done on the total BTR of the highest 11 players. Not a perfect system, but gives a pretty good base to start from.

i think wages would be much better, ok late in the season it's not that good due to training but at the start of the season it's pretty much spot on. BTR can dip a lot due to form. and Reporters summaries dip a lot due to PF

From now on i think it should be taken from where you finish. Why should I (if i'd still be rated number 1) finish 3rd this season and be ranked number 1 for the next?

promoted team ranked 4th for their league. Relegated ranked 1st

What happens if you have teams on the same points (eg 3 teams played 3 won 2 lost 1)? Net run rate?

 

[ste_mc_efc]

result between two sides? NRR in the event it was somehow a tie

What like a head to head? As in if the top 2 sides were drawn on points, both won and lost the same, whoever won the friendly out of those 2 get promoted? So what happens if there are 3 teams at the top? Like this:


---------P----W----L
Team 1--3----2----1
Team 2--3----2----1
Team 3--3----2----1
Team 4--3----0----3


Would we do Net run rate then?

 

[ste_mc_efc]

Suppose so. That's up to Griffo to sort out though

Should be a very interesting day on Sunday.
