ERQ - The Objectives Met
1. The Evolving-Rank Qualification System always ensures that the rank of the opponent that a team must face is inversely proportional to the teams own rank amongst those remaining in the competition. Also, the higher a team is ranked, the more likely it is that the team will have a home match for a particular round. Finally, the format of the system ensures that the top 3 ranked teams can not be eliminated before week 2.
2. The Minor Premiers are justly rewarded for their seasons efforts with a bye in the first week of the finals, with their first match against the lowest ranked progressing loser in the second week, and given a guarantee that they can not be eliminated before week 3.
3. The Evolving-Rank Qualification System is a 7 Team Finals System. This promotes a competition whereby only those teams that (typically) have a winning season record are rewarded for their performances (assumes 14+ teams in competition).
4. The number of finals games will be 9, equal to that of the current NRL and AFL finals systems, whilst maintaining a finals series period of 4 weeks.
5. After week 1 of the finals, undefeated teams greatly increase their likelihood of a home game in future fixtures, or at the very least, avoid playing an away game. Losers are always penalised, either by being eliminated, or having to play an away game at a highly ranked opponents home ground.
6. The four highest ranked premiership teams are guaranteed a home final. Lower ranked teams can win the right for Home games by remaining undefeated, upsetting Higher ranked opponents at their opponents' home ground.
7. Only the Minor Premiers get a week off, which takes place in the first week. They can not be eliminated until the third week. Note: It is recommended that if a competition has an odd number of teams, and thus require one team to have a bye each week of the home and away series, that the team finishing last in the previous season is given the bye in the last round of the next season. This reduces the likelihood that a team finishing first will have two bye's in a row.
8. The schedule of matches for each round of the Evolving-Rank Qualification System ensures that a team knows long before the commencement of a match whether a loss will result in elimination from the competition.
