SA U18 Div 2 playing out the season and ladder position
Any word on the Boys 18div2 round 18 game that had Sturt(2) def Forestville(2) with a score 0:0? Did neither team want to show up at morphett vale at 9.45pm. Both teams make finals but it looks like a poor example for impressionable youths. Was it a notified ($25) or unnotified ($100) forfeit?
From the ladder 4th, 5th and 6th teams all finish on 9.5 wins out of 16 games (59.38% - taking in the +1/2 game draw and -1/2 game forfeit). On a head to head Eagles2 beat Eagles1 and South beat Eagles2. However Eagles1 beat South. So perhaps Eagles1 should be in finals.
District ByLaw 1.15. Positions on the Premiership Table
b) In competitions in which teams have an unequal number of byes, positions
will be determined as above, with the exception that "Premiership points"
will be replaced by “Game Ratio”, which is defined as follows:
c) Wins + (½ x Draws) - (½ x Forfeits)
d) Games Played
In addition, this formula will also be used when applying criteria a) ii) in
cases where tied teams have played an unequal number of games against
each other.
Note that the above definition of “Game Ratio” does not correspond exactly
to the “PCWon” field on SportingPulse, as “PCWon” does not take forfeits
into account.
Did someone do all their homework and realise the -1/2 game for a forfeit and that table position on Sporting Pulse IS WRONG!
