Cue a host of confused motorsport fans who tuned in expecting to see NASCAR. |

Yes, it seems you are the only one to have read the proposals.
Top eight - Super League Play-offs
Middle eight - Super League Qualifying Play-offs
Bottom eight - Championship Shield
Not hard, is it!

If theres P & R from the Championship, then the 3rd 8 should be the "Don't come last League".

What's the sponsorship situation? Super League & The Championship have different sponsors, what's going to happen when they morph into 3 competitions?

I've always thought "XIII" was a good marketing tool.
e.g XIII Super League
XIII Championship

It's no wonder there's been so much confusion if they are going to call the top 8 division the "play-offs" and then have a 4 team playoff to decide who reaches the GF. So the top 8 are the playoffs to the playoffs and the middle 8 are the playoffs to be in next season's playoffs to the playoffs. Catchy

I think that's hit the nail right on the head. There are far too many people on here thinking there's an 8 team playoff when reality it's top 4.
IMO They should call the 2x12 SL1 & SL2, or SL1 & Champ1. After the split, the bottom and top leagues retain their name and the middle league is named something different - SL Qualification Group or something along those lines. |

Or you could use a bit of common sense and just realise that the top 8 is the first stage of the play-offs, and then the semi finals are the second stage.
Seriously, it's not difficult no matter how much you try and make it out to be. |

It's not the first stage of the playoffs though is it? It's basically the league carrying on less 4 teams. If points were reset or something I'd be inclined to agree but the only thing that happens is 4 teams are removed, so they can play for next seasons SL spots. |

I'm not saying it is difficult, but why call the top 8 team division "The Playoffs" when there is then another set of playoffs to decide who reaches the GF? The 8 team division is a mini-league where everyone plays each other once, that's not a playoff. I've seen loads of people on here and Twitter confuse the two and state that it's an 8 team playoff series. It wouldn't be difficult to call them something different. |

| The top and bottom 8s are surely just extensions of the regular season rather than the beginning of the play offs so Super League, Super League Qualifiers and Championship makes sendse I suppose one issue is determining what the winners of the 3rd 8 are actually called. You can't exactly call them the Championship Champions given they're effectively the 5th best team in that league.
edit - I've got it 
1. Super League
2. Super League Qualifiers
3. The Ricky Bibey Cup |
