Just another thing I’m not sure of with IMG criteria. Next week we have London v Toulouse in the playoffs for SL, but after this season, a team doesn’t get into SL by winning the championship playoffs, so my question is, will there still be a championship top six playoff if the winner doesn’t automatically qualify for SL.
Yes. Well for now but yes.
Winning the league and then the GF earns you IMG points.
For example. If you finish bottom of super league you get 2.77 points.
If you finish top of Championship you get 2.55 points.
But the championship side also has a chance of an extra 0.25 points for winning GF. So the playoffs are important to get a little lift over the lowest side in SL
- that's done over a 3 year average though.
Ironically, a team getting GF and promoted into SL, dropping back the year after and then getting GF again would have 2.86 points whereas the team who got 11th 3 years running would get 2.88.
