Shane Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 There is also automatic qualifications in League 1' date=' I think first two(not sure) and they only play K/Os for the third spot.[/quote'] Yup
Shane Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 So what's your point? Why do you think they have a K/O there ?
Don Sharma Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Why do you think they have a K/O there ? Maybe there isn't much of a difference between 3-8 but 1 and 2 get automatic qualification right?, it makes sense to me.
The Outsider Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 The ‘no-need-for-a-knockout game-in-a-league-format’ is premised on the fact that it ensures the best team wins. But what the protracted league phase ensures is that only the top teams make it to the knockout stage. So' date=' irrespective of who of the final 4 wins, it does not make a difference because all 4 teams are quite evenly matched, especially in a franchise based model.[/quote'] Huh? Delhi were a clear 6 points ahead of DC this year - that's almost 50% more than DC's total points. Last year, RR were a good 7 points clear of DD.
Shane Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Maybe there isn't much of a difference between 3-8 but 1 and 2 get automatic qualification right?' date=' it makes sense to me.[/quote'] The reason is very similar to one over here, evenly matched teams.
Don Sharma Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 The reason is very similar to one over here' date=' evenly matched teams.[/quote'] Mate do you seriously think RR was evenly matched last year.
Shane Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Mate do you seriously think RR was evenly matched last year. Were'nt and didnt they prove that in K/O stage?
coffee_rules Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Have a super-4 and a Final. That makes sense. A top team of 8 teams is eliminated having one bad day with a player being taken over by a psychotic ghost!
Don Sharma Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Were'nt and didnt they prove that in K/O stage? What if they hadn't win? Even in Coca Cola championships they play return legs, if they do the same in IPL, I am fine with that.
The Outsider Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Were'nt and didnt they prove that in K/O stage? What Gilchrist did today, Sehwag could easily have done last year.

jf1gp_1 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Have a super-4 and a Final. That makes sense. A top team of 8 teams is eliminated having one bad day with a player being taken over by a psychotic ghost! Though not a fair comparision but still aussies (after dominating league games) have only lot one game in the last 8 WC semi finals and finals games they have played.
Mr. Wicket Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 amits, there are no words, phrases or idioms that can sum up just how pathetic, disgusting and infantile you are. You're a stupid waste of space on the web who gives this site and any teams you support a bad name just by association. Please do us all a favour and cut the cable connecting your computer to the internet so none of us have to suffer from this stupidity any further. Meanwhile, I'm off to find some hard liquor. I need something to kill the brain cells that just got stupider by reading that moronic-beyond-description post of yours.

Shane Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 What if they hadn't win? Even in Coca Cola championships they play return legs' date=' if they do the same in IPL, I am fine with that.[/quote'] Wouldn't it be boring then?
Don Sharma Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Wouldn't it be boring then? What boring, you mean to say two legs sux in football?
