Extract:

Will bonus points continue to be awarded in both the Championship and League One?
With annual promotion and relegation restored, there is a recognition that all teams need to use the same points scoring system. The sport currently operates two scoring systems with two points for a win and one for a draw in Super League, and three points, two for a draw and one for losing by 12 points or less in Championship and Championship One. One of these will be adopted across all three competitions from 2015.
A consultation process is currently underway to see which would be the best option: the process will take into account the views of players, coaches, administrators, broadcasters, commercial partners, other stakeholders in the game and, most importantly, the fans. Leeds Metropolitan University are undertaking a piece of research to obtain the views of fans from both Super League and Championships that will feed into the decision-making process which is expected to come to a conclusion before the end of this year.

Two points for a win, one for a draw and nowt for losing. Simple.

Earning top 2 in the championship is important, as they get 4 home fixtures (if I read it right) in the qualifier, this will be extremely tough with Bulls, London, Leigh and fev all full time

Re: Bonus points. : Thu Jul 24, 2014 3:16 pm  

That Summer Bash game could be a real season breaker if we get the Bulls. The fair way would be to ensure that the top 6-8 teams are playing each other and maybe go 1/2,3/4 etc. but it is potentially a four or six pointer.

I'm sure it will all pan out Charlie.

Just wondering who the top four will be, will London or Bulls get in there or will it be 4 of this years Champ teams?

As one of the teams that will be up there next year fighting for the 4 what's your views on the million pound match not been on a neutral ground I'm all for the new structure but this cannot be right
