Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[Throw It Up Ref]

There is little or no doubt the best thing the CCC have done in recent times has been the move to Friday evening games.

Agreed 100%.

I was sitting at a wedding on a Saturday a few weeks ago watching everyone enjoy themselves and I thought to myself that for years there would have been a large portion of the attendees not drinking, watching what they eat and leaving early for the sake of a league game the next day. Madness when you look back on it.

is tyrone among only a few counties that do straight knockout as championship. I  think that is best way as counties already have leagues for multigame formats  some counties have questionable formats imo i was looking at Derry's format and all teams in the group stage qualify for the knockout stage i know they are playing for seeding but there must be a lack of suspense and  jeopardy in the group stage.

Due to the format of the championship in Derry, the league is rendered useless. Relegation is decided through the championship group stage

Also Reserve championship on the Sunday maybe teams didn't feel like they should field in both?

Senior and reserve fixtures still being played on a Friday night-will this continue for the forseeable or when will light determine that it will have to change?

Confirmed that the 2023 season will be three divisions as is. Top position in league wins league and is promoted. Championship winner is promoted. Bottom two teams are relegated. No playoffs.

Why no playoffs?

Only going to lead to a pile of dead rubber fixtures at end of year.

Having the league finished before championship will help with this

Yeah possibly. Or else teams with nothing to play for will save men for championship, understandably, resulting in more or less dead rubbers still.

Was it not in the proposals voted for at start of the year that there were to be be playoffs if we stick with status quo?

Yeah, that's the way to go. Finish the league off first and make sure all the games are played.

Then start championship 2 weeks later. All teams on a level footing then.

To play league games after teams are knocked out of the championship is impossible and with promotion/relegation involved, more than likely it'll cause a handling.

Well that sucks - the indication given at the start of the league was that there would be play-offs. Given our current form, I'd have been looking at us aiming to finish in a promotion play-off spot i.e. top 6. But now there's no point bothering about the league. Only games involving Stewartstown, Aghaloo & Strabane now realistically matter in Division 3, for everyone else it's eight more rounds of league games to warm up for the championship.

Where did you see this confirmation? I was also understanding playoffs would return if retention of 3 divisions.

Playoffs remain in 2022 mate, its 2023 I'm talking about
