Re: Change to playoffs
Sounds like a decent idea. Wouldn't be surprised to see this after it's been tested.

Re: Change to playoffs
Not a fan personally.
So 2nd and 3rd get a rest while the others are playing the first round? Seems to unbalance the 'lottery' that we like about the playoffs. I'm also wary of expanding the playoff positions too much as you'll eventually do the opposite of what you want to achieve - instead of excitement trying to grab a spot, too many spots will see teams get complacent.
Balance that against increasing the excitement for about 2/3rds of the league now chasing 6th and 7th and I see why they did it though.

Re: Change to playoffs
What a load of cobblers. Why don't they go the whole hog and just have one big play off at the end of the season, that way if you finished bottom, you could still get promoted :roll:

Yeah it's not to bad if you only have two teams going up anyway but look at league 2. You'd have the first three go up automatically then the team finishing 9th could potentially go up as well!
