  2. Is it confirmed that Scotland get 4 spots to Div 1?

    1. Yes, that has been confirmed by the UKU. Ireland are also allowed one team in Division 2.

  3. It's far more likely that UKU will chop one Scottish team off the top and add it to the bottom of div 1. As it was the Irish team that won, the logical solution would not be for a Scottish team to inherit that seed.

    This is the more likely seedings:

    1. Dundee
    2. Warwick
    3. Durham
    4. Sussex 1
    5. Bristol
    6. Heriot Watt
    7. Manchester
    8. Cambridge
    9. Birmingham
    10. Bath
    11. Edinburgh
    12. York
    13. Sussex 2
    14. Cardiff
    15. Imperial
    16. Glasgow

    Then fitting them into groups avoiding regional mismatches will probably look something like this. (original seeds in brackets)

    Group A
    1 (1) Dundee
    7 (8) Cambridge
    10 (10) Bath
    15 (15) Imperial


    Group B
    2 (2) Warwick
    8 (7) Manchester
    9 (11) Edinburgh
    16 (13) Sussex 2

    Group C
    3 (3) Durham
    5 (5) Bristol
    12 (9) Birmingham
    13 (16) Glasgow

    Group D
    4 (4) Sussex 1
    6 (6) Heriot Watt
    11 (12) York
    14 (14) Cardiff

    4. The standard deviation of seeding based on last year to contrived seeding is actually much lower in this than it is in the real schedule released today. It gets lower still if you had Mohawks 2 and Imperial as they finished in the region. Would be interesting to know why they haven't gone for this...
