The Engage Super League play-offs involve the top eight clubs at the end of the regular season and are played over four weekends culminating in the Engage Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford on Saturday October 2. The schedule is as follows: WEEK 1 (September 10-12) Four matches will take place on Week 1, effectively in two pools: the Qualifying Play-offs and the Elimination Play-offs Qualifying Play-Offs These matches involve the team who finish in the top four. They are: 1st v 4th 2nd v 3rd The winners of these two games will progress directly to Week 3. The highest-ranked winning club will have Club Call, whereby they choose who they play in Week 3. The losers of these two matches will have another chance in Week 2 when they will be at home to the winners of the Week 1 Elimination Play-Offs. Elimination Play-Offs These matches involve the team who finish fifth to eighth. They are: 5th v 8th 6th v 7th The winners of both these matches will progress to Week 2. The losers are eliminated. WEEK 2 (September 18 and 19) There are two matches in Week 2, called the Preliminary Semi-finals. Preliminary Semi-Final 1 Highest ranked Qualifying Play-off Losing team (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th) v Lowest ranked Elimination Play-off winning team (5th, 6th, 7th or 8th) • Winners to Club Call • Loser eliminated Preliminary Semi-Final 2 Lowest ranked Qualifying Play-off Losing team (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th) v Highest ranked Elimination Play-off winning team (5th, 6th, 7th or 8th) • Winners to Club Call • Loser eliminated Club Call (Sunday September 19) Club Call will take place on Sunday September 19 (the second weekend of the play-offs) and will be hosted by the highest ranked winning club from Week 1. The host club will select who they play in Week 3 and can only select from the winners of the two Preliminary Semi-finals (Week 2) - they cannot choose the other Qualifying Play-offs winner. The highest ranked club from the Qualifying Play-offs (Week 1) must choose their opponents - they cannot cede the responsibility to the other Qualifying Play-offs winner. The team with Club Call and the other Qualifying Play-off winners from Week 1 are guaranteed home advantage in Week 3. For example, should the teams that ended the regular season in 1st and 2nd place lose their opening play-off match, they could still find themselves playing away to the 3rd or 4th placed teams in Week 3. WEEK 3 (September 25 and 26) Two matches again, losers eliminated from each, winners go through to contest the Grand Final. Qualifying Semi-Final One Highest ranked QPO Winner v Club Call selected club Qualifying Semi-Final Two Second ranked QPO Winner v Club not selected for Club Call WEEK 4 (Saturday 2 October 2010) Engage Super League Grand Final, Old Trafford (6.00) Possible Questions Can any team have Club Call? No. The highest ranked winning club from Week 1 will have Club Call, whereby they choose who they play in Week 3. Only a team that ended the regular season in 1st, 2nd or 3rd can win Club Call. Will the teams who finished 1st or 2nd at the end of the regular season be guaranteed home advantage in Week 3 should they progress? No. The two highest ranked teams after Week 1 (the team with Club Call and the other Qualifying Play-off winners) are guaranteed home advantage in Week 3. For example, should the teams that ended the regular season in 1st and 2nd place lose their opening play-off match, they could still find themselves playing away to the 3rd or 4th placed teams in Week 3. Does the Club Call team have to choose their opponents or can they relinquish the responsibility to the other Qualifying Play-offs winner? The highest ranked club from the Qualifying Play-offs (Week 1) must choose their opponents - they cannot relinquish the responsibility to the other Qualifying Play-offs winner. In addition, they can only select from the winners of the two Preliminary Semi-finals (Week 2) - they cannot choose the other Qualifying Play-offs winner. www.wiganwarriors.com Have your say, click here to register |
