It may increase the number of matches from 74 to somewhere around 80 if that format is implemented... but it would ensure that minimal number of meaningless matches are played towards the end of the league stage.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733104559445244259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645282373545856222.post-59398751071336199092010-09-08T06:38:02.176+05:302010-09-08T06:38:02.176+05:30Shridhar, Mumbai were assured of finishing top of ...Shridhar, Mumbai were assured of finishing top of the table so even if it was the new format they would have rested their players. But I agree with you about the new playoff format being better than the straight semis and finals.<br /><br />The only drawback here is that with only 4 teams making the playoffs there might be a situation in which a couple of teams might fall out of contention midway through the season. You can prevent that by having the system they have in the NFL. 6 teams make the playoffs with the top 2 getting a bye in the first round (Encourages teams to finish in top 2). 3 plays 6 and 4 plays 5 in the first round. The lower ranked winner from these two games plays the number one ranked team and the other one plays number two.Mahekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01036231713500207408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645282373545856222.post-21350596059861823902010-09-07T10:41:20.252+05:302010-09-07T10:41:20.252+05:30Oh Mayank, I am sure 74 matches is going to bore n...Oh Mayank, I am sure 74 matches is going to bore not only you but a lot of other people as well.<br /><br />This IPL follows the World Cup with just a 5-day break between the two events.
