A small note on criteria for deciding final division positions.
First off, no sour grapes, congrats to FrH, they played well and are very deserving of the div4 title.
Now my grumble
The choice to use the 'for' column to judge performance seems at odds with the aim to reflect the seasons overall performance, rather than one game.
We know that FrH and sod won 7 of their games.
Each team only lost one game so this is where the difference lies, FrH lost by a smaller margin than sod.
Fair enough, but this still seems to be based around the performance of 1 game rather than all season.
If the whole seasons performance is important then then it would make sense to calculate the teams overall 'efficiency', the percentage of rounds won out of all rounds played.
No offence is meant to the organiser, obviously the aim is to have a fair system, unfortunately the logic seems flawed. As I said, the result is decided, it's not my aim to change it, I'm just writing this with the aim of getting the criteria reviewed for future games.
Anyway, just my tupence
