I think most believe it is unfair that 5th place is done after the regular season, and automatic demotion for 8th with no extra game for training/money is a touch unfair.

So how about this:

i) 6 @ 5 - winner stays in the division
ii)8 @ 7 - loser is demoted

winner of ii @ loser an i - winner stays, loser demoted

This way everyone gets that last full training week, plus a little money while still favouring those who place better during the regular season.

So you want to guarantee a 5th or 6th place team gets demoted, but a 7th or 8th place team is guaranteed safety?

No thanks.

no, read it again ;) The 5 or 6 team becomes a second chanche against the winner of the other game, who had to beat both teams.

The idea of the current system is to have at least 1 team per division relegate unconditionally -- no second chances.

but at least for the 5 placed team, they are lot of discussions because it don't have any games in the off season, and this problem was be solved.

Even if i don't like it that much, i prefer are salry "freeze" for the time without games and the current system - but they are also other system who coul be working.

Whose idea? I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but you're making that up.

I think the suggestion is a great idea, actually. And not just because I'm a curling fan. This suggestion — not coincidentally, from a Canadian — is simply the Page playoff system (without a final) used in curling tournaments.

The BB team. I am not making this up -- I have brought up proposals for relegation playoff structure that involves the entire bottom four. The answer was that being able to tank for a top pick and avoid relegation at the same time is undesired. Therefore, guaranteed relegation is a must for the league structure to work as desired.

OK, thanks, that's the explanation I needed to hear, at least.

OK then, what about this?

8's get RELEGATED.

Two pools are made (below)
Big 8 #5, 7 & Great 8 #6
Great 8 #5, 7 & Big 8 #6

Then, teams compete in a round-robin format.
1st Tuesday - #5 (at home) vs. #6
1st Saturday - #6 (at home) vs. #7
2nd Tuesday - #7 (at home) vs. #5

The team with the most wins (or largest point margin as TB) is SAFE.

2nd Saturday - 2nd place team (at home, according to above) vs. 3rd place team.

Winner is SAFE, loser gets RELEGATED.

You get to play at home against the #6 team, any you only have to play away against the #7 team.
