Current system is a beauty. Each position is rewarded more the higher you go. Knock out from start to finish is ****ing stupid. Why even have a home and away season? Teams must be rewarded by finishing higher and by playing all 24 weeks, otherwise the top teams will manage their sides a month out leading to a dull final month. If you want 10 (and I think 10 would be a good idea even for 18 teams) do this: Week 1 7 v 10 elim 8 v 9 elim Week 2 onwards Same as it is now.
