I've updated the team signings for Allsvenskan and Elitserien.

[racers and royals 8,844]

So how does the Swedish Elite league go about creating a meaningful league programme with only 7 clubs.

This is the R& R suggestion.

 

Regular season part 1

Each team meets each other home and away=6 home 6 away

 

Regular season part 2

the top 3 teams after part one are guaranteed play-off spots.

They now meet each other home and away again= 2 home 2 away -points gained in part 1 are carried on to part 2

Top team after part 2 can choose play-off semi opponent and choice of 1st leg home or away.

 

Teams placed 4-6 after part 1 meet each other home and away= 2 home 2 away and the top team after part 2 makes play-off.

Team in 7th after part 1=season over.

NB no team in 4-6th position overtakes top 3 in 2nd phase.

2 semi`s and grand final all over 2 legs.

It also seems that there is no transfer window next season they cannot replace him if he is given a further suspension.
