Not at all,in the NL you dont always have the riders available to ride,work,Prem league and even schools exams,the play offs give everyone a chance to make it and keep the season alive,especially when you have such a wide range of clubs like we do in the NL,
Take the play off final last year in the NL,the two legs produced fantasic racing,down to the wire drama and good crowds,why loose that from a sport which can be failry dull at times
Without the play offs,this years NL was over by June,yet with them,now Mildenhall are in the box seat i think and this week Rye had something important to race for home and away,,great stuff
