....I want someone to explain why an open draw championship similiar to the one outlined below would not work:
This is a hypothetical situation...
Munster and Leinster championships played during May & June.
Cork win Munster and Kilkenny win Leinster
As a reward for winning their respective competitions both teams are granted a seeding for the open draw championship to start in July.
Group 1
Kilkenny
Galway
Tipperary
Clare
Dublin
Antrim
Group 2
Cork
Waterford
Limerick
Wexford
Offaly
Laois
Lets say the groups end up the way they are above...
The semi-final line ups would read:
Kilkenny v Waterford
Cork v Galway
The relegation semi finals would read:
Dublin v Laois
Offaly v Antrim
The loser of the relegation final(Laois?) would play the winner of the Christy Ring Cup(Westmeath?) for the right to compete in the following years Liam McCarthy series.
Are people afraid of it because it's so easy, is fair and equal, and gaurantees every team 5 games?
