I meant regarding the relegation part, which is similar. Just seems to be change for the sake of it.

as far as i know the Elite league in 2012 is 8 teams(as against 9 this season)with the winners of the Allsvenskan promoted this is i suppose a fair way of sorting out the 2nd relegated team.the teams 5 to 8 will meet in 2 semi-finals then the losers will meet and the loser of those 2 matches are relegated-clear !!

Huh? :blink: I know how it works. My question was: why the need to keep changing the system every year? Or have I been drink-posting again? :unsure:

 

i agree that Svemo usually changes allot from one season to another and why they have done that i don't know, perhaps they don't know themselves. ;)

 

however it was only meant to be 8 teams this season with the 8th being relegated directly and with 8 teams it would be a bit too many teams in the playoffs if they would keep the system with a 6 team playoff.

So they decided to revert back to the system that was used in 2004-2006 with a 4 team playoff. I think that was made to keep the interest from the teams to give it all, all season. With 6 teams the top 3-4 maybe would

have secured a play off with many meetings to go. I also think the frequent changes the past years is because the systems used haven't been really "100%" good and that both fans, teams and Svemo feels that they might want to

have it in another way. The only thing i really wonder why the changed is why the changed from match-averages to heat-averages.

 

I think 2011 will in many ways be a testing season, with the new averages system, new playoff and relegation, a new guesting system that replaces the partner teams. Personally i think the new guest system, quite nice to have

some of the bigger Swedish names riding in Allsvenskan in 2011.

 

I also hope that the webstreams from Allsvenskan will work better then Smedernas streams did 2010,

 

 

@mateusz, sorry i had forgotten to put in the dates for the playoffs and relegation series, i've fixed it now.

And Poland's "big three" are granted permission to start in Sweden:

So, even as his lawyer tried to prevent the European Grand Prix taking place with the new silencer Tomasz Gollob gets permission to start on the new silencer in Sweden. All rather pathetic.
