if its a 7-10 wildcard scenario the teams that make the top 8 would have to lose twice to miss finals imv, they earned it throughout the season and one off game/ bad match up should'nt mean missing when the difference between the teams could be multiple wins, and the team 9 and 10 would have to win twice to make it, like the NBA
Game A: 7 v 8
Game B: 9 v 10
Game C: Loser of Game A v Winner of Game B
The 17 game season then the ladder being segmented into 3 groups of 6 makes some sense, but the ladder would have to then be effectively be reset after round 17 or you could have a team from the bottom 6 group finishing higher than a team in the middle 6 group. Then if the ladder is reset where the top 6 is locked, 7-12 is locked and 13-18 is locked what is the incentive for the teams in the bottom grouping to win where they can get the number 1 pick due to the ladder being reset.
