End of Season Playoffs and rules - Winter Season 2011/12
First round Playoff Matches – the
week of the 5th of March onwards
Second Playoff Matches (finals week) – the week of the 12th of March onwards
As the end of Winter League season approaches, please find below the playoff rules for clarification for all the matches to be played. These are designed to be fair to all clubs so no ringers can be drafted in to strengthen teams as stated at the beginning of the season.
· For all leagues of 7 teams (Super League and Division 1) - Players who play in the playoff matches have to have played for that team a minimum of 4 times during the League season up until the last match.
· For leagues of 6 teams (Division 2, 3 and 4) - The minimum amount a player has to have played is 3 times as there are less matches through the season.
· If there is any doubt over the players who have played and the amount they have played, the decision will be made by the Norfolk Squash committee after looking back at the seasons records/ matches.
· All league matches have to be played and completed before the week of the 5th of March (some exclusions allowed).
· Playoff places – the team finishing higher in the league has the Home advantage –e.g. 2nd will be at home and 3rd will visit the 2nd placed team. The same goes for 5th and 6th positions - The chosen night is also favourable to the home team but if it cannot be made a 2nd alternative date must be arranged to which the away team must accept. Failure to do so will forfeit the match.
To clarify the Playoff rules.
If teams are positions 2nd and 3rd in each division - The winner goes through to the next playoff week to play the loser from the division above (finals week - 12th March onwards). The loser is out and will not get another chance to be promoted or win the title in the Super League. Their season is effectively over.
If teams are positions 5th and 6th (or 4th and 5th for Divisions of 6 teams only) – The winner will survive the seasons relegation and will have no more matches to play – their season is effectively over. The loser however then goes into the playoff finals week the week after to play the winner of the above (2nd vs 3rd winner).
Second Round Playoffs (Finals Night!) – The loser of 5th and 6th (or 4th and 5th for Divisions of 6 teams only) will then play the winner of the Division below (2nd or 3rd) with the team in the Division above having Home advantage. This will decide who stays up and who goes down. Normal league match rules apply, the team who wins plays in the Division above, the loser the Division below. The night is also favourable to the home team but if it cannot happen a 2nd alternative date must be arranged.
The Final for the Super League (Grand Final) - the 1st placed team in the Super league has Home advantage - the night is also favourable to the home team but if it cannot happen a 2nd alternative date must be arranged and must be accepted.
For example. If it finished below:
Super League
5th – Broadlands
6th – Potters
Division 1
2nd – EATSC 3rds
3rd – North Norfolk
Broadland vs Potters – First round Playoff match - Broadland at home and chose night(s). The winner survives season. Loser plays winner of Division below. Eg. If Broadland win (see below)
EATSC 3rds vs Norfolk Norfolk – First round Playoff match - EATSC at home and chose night(s). The winner plays loser of Division above. The losers season effectively over. E.g if Norfolk Win (see below)
Broadland vs North Norfolk (Finals week) - Broadland at home and chose night(s) as in Division above. The winner plays in the Super League the next season. The loser plays in Division 1.
We hope this clarifies everything, it is promising to be an extremely exciting finish to the season in every Division and the best for a long time.
