League Format
The league consists of two sections:
-
Races 1-8 will be used to as a qualifying competition. The top 32 teams will continue to the first knockout round. Teams placed 33 or lower at the end of this period will be removed from the group.
-
The remaining teams are seeded using their ranking in the qualifying stage. This gives us a set of head-to-head matches, with seed 1 playing seed 32, 2 v 31, 3 v 30, etc. The matches last for two races (except the semi final and final, which will each be over 3 races), with the winner progressing to the next round. In total there are five rounds of head-to-head action over races 9 to 19, after which we will have a champion!
-
Managers will then be ranked on their performance in the competition in order to determine the points awarded in the 2009 Scrap Heap Championship. Points will be awarded according to points scale A.
