I'm putting these fixtures up early for 2 reasons. 1) I'm always forgetting and keeping you all waiting until Wednesday afternoon or something before posting them! 2) I want to put a poll onto this one, again on the playoffs.
Now we've been playing for 5 weeks, we know how many there are (8 it seems), so we can decide on the format. Just put on the bottom of the fixtures your choice.
Option A - All eight go into the playoffs. Two groups of four, lasting for three weeks. The top two from each group progress to the semis, and then the final. Playoffs would last five weeks, so this week 6 would be the last week of the regular season.
Option B - Top four make the playoffs. They play a semi finals and then a final, so the playoffs would have two weeks, meaning the regular season goes onto a week 9 before ending.
Fixtures
Saturday 21st February
Hull Stingrays Vs Cardiff Devils
Edinburgh Capitals Vs Coventry Blaze
Basingstoke Bison Vs Manchester Phoenix
Nottingham Panthers Vs Newcastle Vipers
Sunday 22nd February
Manchester Phoenix Vs Basingstoke Bison
Coventry Blaze Vs Edinburgh Capitals
Newcastle Vipers Vs Belfast Giants
Sheffield Steelers Vs Hull Stingrays
Wednesday 25th February
Basingstoke Bison Vs Nottingham Panthers
Thursday 26th February
Sheffield Steelers Vs Coventry Blaze
