[QUOTE="AM_Bokke, post: 900154, member: 76028"] The old conferance system was horrible. This is much better. Lions benefited last year for sure. Yeah, I think it's fair. It's the same division and playoff seeding system that the NFL uses. Win your division of 3 other teams, played home and away, and get a home playoff game. It helps to keep a lot of teams in contention for home playoff games. And it helps to spread them around over multiple years. Which is good for fan engagement. I don't think that leagues with playoff systems need to play every other team. And as others have noted, bonus point systems and playoffs are a good match because teams can be on top of the log only because they accumulated points in a preferential way, not necessarily because they are better at actually winning games. It also seems clear that SR fans like the derbies. They make sure that a countries talent visits every fan base every year. [/QUOTE]
