Think it is top 6

It states on the BSPA site that championship title to be decided by play offs with all ties being matches of 2 legs.

Last season (2019) the top four in the Championship made the play offs, where is the source (can't see anything on the SGB website, although it does state that it is the top four in the Premiership) that states it is the top six (as it was a few years ago) that qualify?

Just checked the 2020 rule book and I've copied and pasted those rules which it would appear will apply for 2021:-

2020 SCB Rulebook

012.1.1 Premiership & Championship Leagues

Championship League, teams will meet on 2 occasions, 1 home and 1

away. The League will then split into a North South divide and those clubs

will meet additionally on 2 occasions, 1 home and 1 away.

The quarter finals will consist of the 3rd v 6th placed team and 5th v 4th placed

team, the top 2 teams will go direct to the semi final. The team who finishes

at the top will have the pick of the quarter final winner in the semi final.

Can't see anywhere whether or not we will actually ride again against teams under the North/South divide this year with the season starting late, and whether or not it could possibly influence whether or not there'll be quarter finals.

That was the idea for 2020 but it never happened. The v2 Regs do not say of any changes but this year, a shortened version, is 11 meetings home & away.

No, it’s 6… Just like it says in the rule book and said in the notes after the AGM, just because it used to be 4 doesn’t mean it’s not changed to 6 now

I heard it is 12 teams for the play offs , therefore we should just do away with the normal league season and move straight to the play offs. :D
