Playoff format
Views: 572
As an IPL viewer I wonder if the way they do their finals would be better for the playoffs.
How it works is as follows. (Call the playoff positions 1, 2, 3 and 4).
1 plays 2 and the winner goes straight through to the final. Whilst the loser gets a second chance (see below).
3 plays 4 and the winner of that then has to play the lose of 1 v 2, and the winner of that game is who then goes through to the final.
This means the higher you finish the more opportunity you have to make the final. Seems a fairer way as the team who finishes in the first playoff spot might be 10 points ahead of the one in 4th playoff spot so deserves a greater chance of promotion.
Could get rid of the two legged semi finals whilst we're at it and have this 3 game format instead. Perhaps with the higher placed team having home advantage or at a neutral venue.
