It greatly reduces the number of dead rubbers and increases the importance of topping the group.
you have got it all wrong. Its all money. Grab all association and what have you..........
I'm not even sure they are maximising profits. A replay of an ulster final or
All Ireland semi final would likely surpass the revenue earned in the preliminary quarter finals.
+4 pqf
+ 4 qf
=32 matches
Even with 20k per match that is the attendance equivalent of over 7 all Ireland finals
