Evil Homer Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 There are plenty of places that provide this information, such as http://www.rugby-league.com/super-eights and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_League_Super_8s Not sure what you mean by posting a large string of 8's but it really is not all that complicated.

RidingPie Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 sl top 8 keep their points and have a league, then a play off to win the cup mid 8 have a league don't keep points then 4'th and 5'th have a play off to win the 4th spot and join/rejoin sl after that i don't know what is happening i have tried, but.... i would love an explanation rather than a debate on it's worth though. So what would you have preferred in the 8's? The SL and Championship clubs all keeping their points? The playing field is level. The top 8's keep their points as the winner gets the LLS. The super and middle 8's make sense to me, not really looked beneath that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwent Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 If the OP means what happens in the bottom 8 then the top 4 in that league have semis and a final for the Championship Shield and £50k. The bottom 2 are relegated to C1. I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Middle 8's (Qualifiers) are the only ones where the points are reset because obviously it has teams from two different divisions and it would be impossible to carry points over from that.

JonM Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 It's not quite the same as last year, because this year C1 has 8s as well, except one of the 8s was a 7 and depending on what happens with York, the other one might be too. We go from 12-12-15 to 8-8-8-8-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadnoughts back please Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Are you 2 trying to make my head spin more? i should prob clarify my question, erm. super league next year will be this year's super 8 plus the top 3 of the middle 8's and the winner of the mpg. next years championship will be the loser of the mpg and the bottom 3 of the middle 8's. then what? my 88888 was childish, but everything seems to be super 8's.

Then the rest of the teams that are currently in the Championship, apart from the bottom 2 who will be relegated and replaced by the two promoted teams from League 1. It literally is exactly the same as in previous years, the only difference is that the teams are split into groups of 8 for the final 7 matches of the regular season. The fact that the leagues are split into groups of 8 mid way through doesn't change the way promotion and relegation happens apart from between Super League and the Championship.
