Competition

There were 14 teams participating in the 2009 Vodacom Cup competition. These teams were geographically divided into two sections - the Northern Section and the Southern Section, each with seven teams. Teams would play all the teams in their section once over the course of the season, either at home or away.

Teams received four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points were awarded to teams that score four or more tries in a game, as well as to teams losing a match by seven points or less. Teams were ranked by points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).

The top four teams in each section qualified for the play-offs. In the quarter finals, the teams that finished first in each section had home advantage against the teams that finished fourth in the other section and the teams that finished second in each section had home advantage against the teams that finished third in the other section. The winners of these quarter finals then played each other in the semi-finals, with the higher placed team having home advantage. The two semi-final winners then met in the final.

  • 44 yellow cards were shown to 43 different players.
gollark: Oh yes, MICROSOFT TEAMS.
gollark: Modern computers are *extremely fast*. Billions of instructions per second *per core*. Yet somehow software gets increasingly terrible such that just having a chat app like this open (in a browser) uses a substantial fraction of that, and enough memory to store several hundred *novels*.
gollark: Everything is fast with sufficiently good computers. That doesn't make it not bad.
gollark: Starting up heavily modded Minecraft takes several minutes, uses tons of RAM (this is admittedly mostly Mojang's fault), and actually prints an impressive amount of warnings.
gollark: Do you know other programming languages?
