kabira Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 There are no semis this time around. They have playoffs 1st and 2nd play each other. 3rd and 4th play eacth other Winner of 3rd or 4th play the loser of 1st and 2nd. So team that is 1st and 2nd have two chances to reach Finals.

cowboysfan Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 hmmm.this means there is a lot of incentive to finish top 2.Only mumbai is confirmed the top spot ,there will be a mad dash for the2nd team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I am not sure that any team is guaranteed to finish top 2 at this point despite MI's dream run. Correct me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramzz Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Yep, no semis this time. Irks me when players themselves talk about reaching the semis...shows they know or don't care about the format. Team that finishes first has a really good chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team that finishes first has a really good chance. It would be funny if a team that finishes at 4th goes on to win the whole thing. Imagine RCB doing that with couple of Gayle blazers.

Din't that happen last year when CSK won it. This time around 4th number team has to win 3 games in a row to win it...if they do it, they deserve it.

cowboysfan Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I think the system is fair TBH. I agree with you,it forces the top teams not to half ass games are when they get to the end of the league phase . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tekno Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Mumbai on top of the pack. Certain in top 4 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajmarie Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 The top 2 teams definitely will be awarded with 2 chance to reach the final. That's a big incentive for teams to try to shoot for the top 2 spots rather then just top 4. :mi: are certainly enjoying the top position. They have played well....but they have done that in other iPL also. Do they have the correct team to win the Ipl this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate_Game Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 There aint any semis this time around. Losers :hehe: There aren't? So what's the format? Do the top 2 teams play the final or is it a round robin league like EPL or La Liga? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tekno Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Mumbai has won 5 games, so they only need to win 3-4 more games to qualify to playoffs There aren't? So what's the format? Do the top 2 teams play the final or is it a round robin league like EPL or La Liga? a) It's 1 vs 2 b) 3 vs 4. c) Then the loser of 1vs2 faces winner of 3vs4. Then winner of (a) faces winner of © Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 this new format seems weird. So 1 beats 2. 3 beats 4. 2 beats 3. Now 1 has to play 2 again even though they just beat them. WTF! Seems like the format has been made to allow chokers like MI get a second life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
