The New Points Scoring
(Posted 04/02/08)

One of the main rule changes for next season is the abolition of the aggregate point to replace it with a system of 3 points for an away win, with a home win still scoring 2 points. Will it however make much difference?

Just out of curiosity we applied the new rules to last years results to see if there was much of a difference.

Rye House were the main 'losers', dropping 2 places with Sheffield and Isle of Wight taking advantage to go up a place each. The main 'winners' were in fact Edinburgh who climberd two places as the expense of Stoke and Mildenhall. Tigers would have swapped places with Workington to claim seventh.

The final 2007 table can be seen here. The revised table based on this years scoring system would be:-

		Pts	(+/-)
1	King's Lynn	46	=
2	Birmingham	45	=
3	Sheffield	40	+1
4	Isle of Wight	38	+1
5	Rye House	37	-2
6	Somerset	36	=
7	Glasgow	36	+1
8	Workington	34	-1
9	Redcar	27	=
10	Newcastle	26	=
11	Edinburgh	24	+2
12	Stoke	21	-1
13	Mildenhall	21	-1
14	Newport	21	=
15	Berwick	7	=
