Quote ="Shoe Shine Johnny"So in 2015 if a club went into administration and was deducted 6 points. It would start the season on -6 and (in theory) could lose every game in the first phase. That -6 would get scrubbed to zero in the 3x8 sections and then they could just win a few games to get back up to SL for 2016.'"
indeed, and if you were such a club would you bother trying to Qualify for a top 8 position with the reward being a competition nigh on impossible for you to win? Or would you throw the first part of the season and concentrate on making sure your senior players were ready for the 7 game season at the end?
