Format

League structure

The 2017 National Camogie League consists of three divisions: 11 in Division 1, 12 in Division 2 and 5 in Division 3; 1 and 2 are divided into two groups. Each team plays every other team in its group once. 3 points are awarded for a win and 1 for a draw.

If two teams are level on points, the tie-break is:

  • winners of the head-to-head game are ranked ahead
  • if the head-to-head match was a draw, ranking is determined by the points difference (i.e. total scored minus total conceded in all games)
  • if the points difference is equal, ranking is determined by the total scored

If three or more teams are level on league points, rankings are determined solely by points difference.

Finals, promotions and relegations

The top two teams in each group in Division 1 contest the National Camogie League semi-finals.

The top two teams in each group in Division 2 contest the Division 2 semi-finals.

The top four teams in Division 3 contest the Division 3 semi-finals.

gollark: Free speech *the principle* is at the extreme end something like "you can say anything ever", which doesn't really work, so mostly I think we should have something like "you can say anything legal, civil, and non-horribly-infohazardous".
gollark: Free speech *the law* as it generally gets implemented is something like "the government can't restrict you from saying most things".
gollark: I think you're undergeneralizing the concept.
gollark: ... and?
gollark: It's a complex problem, and the best way to solve these is generally to actually look at it from multiple angles, discuss it in groups, think about different angles, and whatever, rather than just go "well, I thought about this and I don't have a great answer, guess it's impossible".
