Thanks DFC ... I've found the Prem is a hard one to handle because almost everyone is prioritising not getting relegated and therefore posting loads of shorties. This makes going for a bigger score more problematic if you strike out too much, and the five rest days are not the aid they are in other divs.

i know I have a vested interest in this, but if the prem only sends 4 down to division 1 then it surely opens up another place and six should be promoted, division 1 relegated 5 so five should be promoted from division 2 and so on through to division 3, I accept the decision obviously, but can someone please explain why the extra promotion is used this way, when in reality one person retires, so in my opinion only one person should benefit from that not 2 6th place finishers
 thanks |
|
By:
big_keef, your maths is wonky. Only five people are leaving the Prem. Or, as you put it, four are coming to D1 and one retiring. Still leaves five vacant places in the Prem as usual, so why would you send up 6? But because D1 only got four back it is light by one, so needs another body from D2 to make up the numbers. But then the same applies to D2, so it needs another body from D3. HTH

ok thanks for explaining,, but if it were known this was going to happen, should it not have been made clear to people taking part on the thread beforehand

I get the maths reg, indeed last month I profited by posy retiring and going up in 6th place in division 3, and I did not moan about it, but crusader who retired was in 9th place and in no danger of relegation when he decided to retire, so it is my belief it should have opened up another relegation place not 2 promotion places, either way I would not have got promoted, but someone in the prem got lucky because of a retirement when in reality they would have been relegated, not that bothered as it is only a bit of fun to me, but I think it is something that could be looked at in the future, someone getting promoted for finishing 6th place in two divisions doesn't sit right with me, and I include when I got promotion in august, basically I didn't deserve it, anyway it is what it is
|
|
By:
actually my maths is wrong, if crusader retires and another 5 get relegated, then that does open up an extra place, so I believe if a sixth place finisher has to be promoted, then it should actually be from the division directly below
|
|
By:
bk, it actually makes no difference - whether he retires from his (non-relegation) position and five others relegated/six promoted or as happened he is one of five relegated and five promoted, you still have a hole to fill in D1, and thus D2. Don't really understand the fuss as it just gives extra chances for those lower down to taste the 'big-time'. No one loses out.

By:
bk, I don't think you quite grasp the knock-on effect. It's all in the numbers - 20 to a div (except D3 of course). So if there's a retirement in the Prem that leaves the top three divs light by one, which can only be filled from D3.

and cardy, I'm busy doin loads of things, unlike some I might mention, so I maybe don't pay as much attention to other divs as I should. So I didn't remember there had been a retirement until I was reminded on the last day. Sorry about that, but thems the breaks. If you are so concerned then I suggest you pay close attention to the divs upstairs for retirements (and let me know). Alternatively, of course, you could pay me a modest retainer to make sure I keep these things up to date. No ... didn't think so

must be a fault to point out anything ,, [ that could improve the comps ]] on here .. you sound a bit pizzed off
|
|
By:
but thanks for explaining,, but i wont forget to let db know how he got promotion,,
|
|
By:
this will probably be my last point on the subject, hopefully, but if crusader retires and another 5 get relegated, then that leaves 6 places in the prem that need to be filled, I don't see how my maths is wrong? or am I just getting confused like I say not really bothered, but if someone should gain from a retirement in the prem then it should really be from the division below and not someone in div 2 and 3
|
|
By:
bk, thats six going up to the prem, but only five going back to D1. So D1 is one light. How do you make up the number?
|
|
By:
one retires another five get relegated, that makes six in my book
|
|
By:
think we are arguing at slightly cross-purposes. Yours is a different way of processing a retirement which is fair enough although not the way we doit at the momnent. But whether you do it your way or ours, it still means that Division 1 is left one short of a full division. That number needs to be made up from somewhere.
|
|
By:
... unless of course you are suggesting retirees merely float down the divisions month by month until they end up in the third
|
|
By:
yes reg retirees just disappear, one retires leaves 29 places, still relegate a different 5 that makes 24 places , therefore it makes room for six to be promoted, that adds up surely
|
|
By:
sure, but how many does that leave in Div 1?
|
|
By:
five get relegated from the prem, not including the retiree, and five get relegated from division 1 five get promoted from division 2 that makes 30, easy peasy
|
|
By:
but if 6 get promoted from the prem that makes 29, ok I am wrong
