Week 3 - Qualifying Finals

The rankings for each team in week 3 evolves from their previous rankings, depending on the results throughout the finals series. The Qualifying Finals Rankings (QFR1-4) are determined as follows:
- The highest QF Rankings are awarded to the undefeated teams over weeks 1 and 2, in order of Premiership Rankings.
- The final QF Rankings are taken by the teams that have experienced a defeat in weeks 1 or 2, in order of Premiership Rankings.

QFR1 is rewarded with a choice of HOME venue, against QFR4. The other match will be between QFR2 and QFR3. The venue will be decided as follows:
- If either QFR2 or QFR3 is the "lucky loser" from week 2, then this team is penalised by playing the Qualifying Finals match at their opponents chosen Home venue.
- Otherwise, if QFR3 has been defeated in the finals (weeks 1 or 2), then QFR2 is rewarded with their choice of HOME venue.
- Otherwise, if QFR3 is undefeated, the match will be played at a neutral venue. This venue is to be mutually agreed by participating teams, otherwise the venue is chosen by the governing body.
