8 team championship with just one group.
7 League games.
Only the final in O'Moore Park.
Very few meaningless games as there is nearly always potential to get to the first two or be in the bottom two. Always something to aim for.
Some potentially cracking games at regional venues in the knockout stages.
One drawback is the calendar. Is there room for 10 weekends of senior hurling? (Maybe not)

First Round Knockout
Third at home to Sixth
Fourth at home to Fifth
Relegation Playoff
