Quote: D.D. "The two grey areas for me are
1) Can the top ranked side pick the second placed side should they both win.
- No. The 2 winners from the 1v4 and 2v3 ties are the 2 home teams in the SF stage, so the top ranked side could only pick from the other 2. If us and Leeds finish 1 and 2, AND win our first play off games, we can't meet in the SF.
2) Should the higher placed side lose to a lower placed side, and they meet again later in the play-offs, will home advantage be determined by the league position or who has come from the highest ranking tie?
-The team from the higher ranked tie will be at home. So, if we come top 2 and lose our first play off game, we would then be one of the 2 away teams in the SF. Leeds could pick us then! '"
I'm pretty sure this is the case Dave.
