FL2 League Rules

[This Shrimpers' a keeper]

I was unsure about these details (and I'm really sorry if its already covered elsewhere, if so please delete thread).

BUT BEING OBJECTIVE, based on Saturday being a 3 way run in, just so we know the league rules on where teams going for promotion stand (in relation to teams mathematically able to achieve this) pls see below. This is an inescapable fact, so lets just gun it at the Globe arena so we are not concerned about 'other games/results'.

9 Method of Determining League Positions
9.1 At the end of each Season the Club in each Division scoring the highest number of points shall be declared the Champion Club of that Division. Three points shall be awarded for each League Match won. One point will be awarded to each Club for a drawn match. If two or more Clubs have scored the same number of points their position in the Division shall be determined on goal difference, that is to say, the difference between the total number of goals scored by and against a Club in League Matches in that Season, and the higher or highest placed Club shall be the Club with the highest goal difference. If any two or more Clubs have scored the same number of points and have the same goal difference the higher or highest placed Club shall be the Club having scored the most goals in League Matches in that Season.

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

For Bury to win it must be by 1 goal or more.
So basically, that should be if we draw and Bury win.

 

[This Shrimpers' a keeper]

For Bury to win it must be 1 goal or more.

Indeed, as noted. Can we imagine Bury not Bashing Tranny, or at least winning by 1 goal?? Tighter than a nuns wotsit.

 

[Jim Levenstein]

If we draw and Bury win they are up their GD is already better than ours?

Possibly... Tranmere are now down, they may play with fear or nerves.

IF we HAPPEN to DRAW and Bury HAPPEN to win by 1; our goal difference (GD) will be the same, if they win by more they supercede our GD. HOWEVER as the rules state if its level on points and GD the the highest goals scores gains promotion in these circumstances.

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

How can you win by less than 1 goal? That would be a draw.

I think our new member May have found the Smilies buttons :winking:

WRONG!!! Check the table again...

Very true, but having witnessed Bury take us to pieces in the first half up there recently (lets be honest) for better finishing it could have easily been 4.0 after 45. (which thankfully swang around completely for sec half IMO).

I cant imagine Tranny will be able to cope can you??

Check the table again...

Southend +20 (scored 53)
Bury +19 (scored 59)

If Bury win by one (or more for the other poster noted) and we draw, and they have scored more goals in total?????

Yep, I usually hate emocons but I felt it warranted on this occasion.

 

[Angell Delight]

Very simple, if Bury win we MUST win. Their GD is better than ours, nothing but a win will do if they beat Tranmere.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

That's what I was trying to say Jim. It looks like This Shrimpers a keeper hasn't checked the league table properly. We draw, Bury win, Bury are up no matter what scorelines.

 

[This Shrimpers' a keeper]

Very simple, if Bury win we MUST win. Their GD is better than ours, nothing but a win will do if they beat Tranmere.

Thank you!!

Wrong. Our GD is +18 not +20.
