Has everyone seen this from Cap Football?:
"Senior Men - Capital 3-13 inclusive - we will first and foremost concentrate on completing one full round. In most divisions that will mean that another 1 or 2 games will need to be played. If more games can be played they will be. If at the conclusion of the season a league is incomplete (which is likely) winners and promotion/relegation spots will be determined as follows. If the final table shows teams in unassailable key positions (top and bottom so to speak) - the final table will stand. If the final table shows teams in top or bottom positions that could have been "caught" if the season had been able to be completed, the final positions and promotion/relegation spots shall be determined by the results of one complete first round."
So I've gone through and worked out the results of the first full round played (the first game that everybody played against each other). The table (top four) is as follows:
P W D L Pts
Marist Inter 9 7 2 0 23
Waterside Sealords 9 6 2 1 20
Uni Stallions 9 6 1 2 19
Waterside Magpies 9 6 0 3 18
As opposed to current positions:
P W D L GF GA Pts
Waterside Magpies 13 10 0 3 42 21 30
Waterside Sealords 13 9 2 2 45 11 29
Marist Inter 13 8 2 3 31 18 26
Uni Stallions 13 7 1 5 30 19 22
So provided I have added the first round up the same way Cap Football will, Marist should start rain dancing (not that they need to) and Magpies need as many points as possible between now and whenever the season ends.
I'm certainly not saying this out of any club loyalty to them, but if the 7-odd game winning streak Magpies were to get screwed by this and Marist got promoted it would be a complete and utter shambles.
Dunno about you, but remembering back to a couple of games that were cancelled on nice sunny days earlier in the season makes me pretty angry right now.
I think we might need to launch a class action to get part of our subs back for unplayed games. :)
BTW, Uni have played the Dreamers. 3-0 to Uni on April 25th. '
- Hey, Hey, the Stallions jump to 3rd! Who knows how it will play out. Will try to keep you updated ...

Ah ha, very interesting stuff. (Where was this though, I couldn't find it - not that I don't believe you!)
And yeah your calculation seems about right.
Totally agree about the sunny day thing, bloody cap soccer being too cautious when they didn't have a clue what wet and crappy means! Certainly best to get the games through early in the season when things are only marginal, not a shambles like now!
And would definitely feel robbed if you were the Magpies! Haha, good job!
