You've got Sc4 in both Div 1 and Div 2.
ReplyDeleteThanks and now correct.
DeleteIs it confirmed that Scotland get 4 spots to Div 1?
ReplyDeleteYes, that has been confirmed by the UKU. Ireland are also allowed one team in Division 2.
DeleteIt'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.
ReplyDeleteThis 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

7 (8) Cambridge
10 (10) Bath
15 (15) Imperial
Group B
2 (2) Warwick

Group D
4 (4) Sussex 1
6 (6) Heriot Watt
11 (12) York
14 (14) Cardiff
Fancy doing some stuff for us Ash?
Deletesure, what?
Delete*match-ups not mismatches
DeleteThese are much more likely! Cheers Ash :)
DeleteThe 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...
