First chunk of the season will be in regionalised groups of four and then they'll reconvene into groups based on positions. Anymore details on how this will work? 2014 Challenged Cup Winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbfaz Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 EDITED AND OVERHAULED: OK, I've spoken with a friend about the draft West of England structure based on 12 teams. Simple way of putting it: PHASE 1 - Three regionalised pools of four playing a double round robin. 6 games. PHASE 2 - Two groups of six - top two from each group in "Premier", bottom twos in "Championship" - single round robin. 5 games. PLAYOFFS - Top four from each phase 2 group in a standard, single-elimination bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you visit rugby-league.com, they display the West of England and South West under the same league structure. In practice, they're two separate, autonomous leagues. So, just your usual Rugby League cluster****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
