Straight to the knockout stages of the Viaplay Cup as a sweetener for the inconvenience caused too I'd imagine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Pennel Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 European competitions, maybe ? We'll just tell them that we would prefer the Blue Brazil to represent us. They're not corrupt at all. They'll go for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 12 hours ago, jaggyness said: Am I correct in thinking Edinburgh Uni could be relegated this weekend with a defeat combined with a victory for East Stirlingshire? A win for East Stirlingshire would ensure that Edinburgh University end up in one of the bottom two positions. Whether or not they are relegated will depend on the final positions (Gretna 2008 and Edinburgh University still have to play each other) and whether there are two, one or zero teams relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, hadn't realised they're actually playing one another this weekend either! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I hope there will soon be a proposal to automatically relegate the bottom team. That has to be one of the priorities. The bottom placed team could feasibly end up on <10 points and stay in the league. I find it hard to understand why anyone would agree with this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason the bottom team wouldn't be relegated is if there is no Teir 6 licenced champion qualifying to come up. Through 3 way / two way Playoffs or straight up if only one meets the rules. There will always be a promotion from Tier 6 if at least 1 club qualifies. On the other hand the bottom 2 teams can be relegated depending on what happens with LL/ HL/ Team 42 Playoffs. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. That's always been a given. The rule around the bottom relegation was amended after Selkirk went bust. Given some grace at the time with the expectation wider chances were round the corner that would make it irrelevant. Its been 5 years and counting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always one team promoted (assuming there is an eligible Tier 6 champion) and depending on what happens at the top of the league, 0 1 or 2 teams are relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT - Possibly an invitations for applications from anyone with a license... Maybe You are right - applications would be invited. Logically, it would be the highest-placed licence club in Tier 6, but that is up to the SLFL members. Here is the relevant rule: Admission by Application B5: If the number of clubs for the forthcoming season is less than sixteen having taken account of promotion and relegation as described in rules B3 and B4 above, applications for membership will be invited. Applications must be advertised and received in accordance with procedures established by the Board at the time of identification that there may be a vacancy to be filled by admission. Applications will be considered by the member clubs, whose decision regarding admission is absolute and final." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
