Final 6
First week
3 v 6 (FIRST ELIMINATION FINAL)
4 v 5 (SECOND ELIMINATION FINAL)
Second week
SECOND SEMI FINAL
1 v 2 - winner goes straight to grand final.
THIRD ELIMINATION FINAL
Winners of first week's games (ie F.E.F. AND S.E.F.) play each other
Third week
PRELIMINARY FINAL
Loser of 1 v 2 (SECOND SEMI FINAL)plays winner of THIRD ELIMINATION FINAL.
Final week
GRAND FINAL
Winner of 1 v 2 (S.S.F.) plays the winner of the PRELIMINARY FINAL.
Only the top 2 sides have the double chance and all finals but for the Second Semi Final are instant death. If you are 3 - 6 on the Premiership table at the end of the minor round - you need 4 wins in a row to claim the championship. All the best.

that is correct....even the NBL used that format not so long ago....seems like a fair format....although the difference between coming 2nd and 3rd is huge....2nd gets 2 games and only has to win 1 to make the GF...where 3rd has to win 3 out of 3 to make the GF.....unfair difference??
