Interesting battle between @Jarquis teams Ashgrove Astronauts and Plymouth Pirates for 6th. With Ashgrove still to face Winton CC and a points deficit to Plymouth Pirates would say Plymouth Pirates have the upper hand but you never know. Been happy with our consistency but we did lose at home to Plymouth Pirates early in the season so Ashgrove Astronauts will be hoping to level out the advantage Plymouth Pirates got from inflciting 1 of the 2 defeats so far on Winton CC.
As @Charlie B has been away from the game for a while - hopefully nothing serious and just real life getting in the way a bit - a new playoff setup is needed unless @Charlie B comes back onto Stumped between now and end of league phase then presuming The Wild Geese get 8th and Jura CC 11th (the latter far from a done deal) then we could have the following set up.
7th and 9th straight into plate semi-finals
7th v winner of 12th v 13th
9th v winner of 10th v 14th
This would ensure the format stays the same but also means you could have a side that didn't finish in top 12 win the Plate
The other alternative which is maybe more equitable(?) but more of a significant shift away from prior format is 7th v 12th and 9th v 10th in the semi-finals straight away and then a final immediately after that.
Note these proposals would only be the case if @Charlie B still hasn't logged into Stumped by end of league phase (last login at time of writing is 03 July)
Thoughts on which potential tweak to setup for plate playoffs?
