Unless we are going to scrap "magic" there has to be an even number of clubs in SL.
As there are no further games likely to be played in the Championship, it's just the mechanism for promoting a club which needs to be agreed.
This of course assumes that Toronto arent coming back and let's face it, after walking away this season, they dont deserve to be in SL next year, aside from the fact that they were stonewall candidates for the drop
There seems to be 3 options for promotion:
Fev, as beaten finalists last season
Averaging the points won so far, although this is skewed with so few games having been played
Promote Toulouse as the current top club
There has been the possibility of a "vote" suggested but, this would stink the house out
