1st night of Super League - What do you think?

The first round of the newly formerd Super League was held on Tuesday 9th Feb 2010 at University.

The new courts were a fitting place to host the new league with its new format, point a rally to 11, best of five games. Same rules apply as usual and double yellow dots are used.

The teams are based upon the Matrix rankings, making teams more even across the league.

I guess at this early stage, the most contentious issue is the games going to 11.

Most teams were finished by just after 10pm, when in the old format, there might be one or even two matches still to be played. What was your experience, and do you think that playing to 15 is better? Did you have a challenging match?

Fill-ins also pose a challenge. Basically, fill-ins can be from any club, and can only fill in positions where the regular player has a higher matrix ranking. Adding to this, the organiser of the old pennant has changed the A1 night from Wednesday to Tuesday, in direct competition.

Where does this put players that aren't in the Super League, but still want to play in the highest pennant grade?

Is it doubtful that any other A1 players will play in the old league?

Overall, the majority of comments were positive, with many players enjoying the different games. Will this new shine wear off? Will this encourage other players to get involved?

Add your comments below, be anonymous or add display your name, the choice is yours.

Stay tuned for a updates, the next pennant night is next Tuesday at Kingston.
