What do uou think of the new National Premier League format where the top six and bottom six teams are split for the final round?

STANDING
P W D L GF GA GD Pts
Portmore United 34 19 10 5 49 22 27 67
Tivoli Gardens 34 18 5 11 42 35 7 59
Boys' Town 34 12 14 8 30 27 3 50
Harbour View 34 11 15 8 40 33 7 48
Waterhouse 34 10 16 8 37 36 1 46
Sporting 34 10 12 12 37 44 -7 42
Village 34 10 12 12 34 34 0 42
Seba 34 10 11 13 42 45 -3 41
St. Georges 34 10 9 15 37 40 -3 39
Arnett Gardens 34 6 18 10 30 32 -2 36
Reno 34 6 16 12 35 48 -13 34
August Town 34 8 10 16 34 51 -17 34

I think it is unfair because the six bottom teams should be given a chance to play for the championships in whatever round it might be.

I think it is a good decision because the bottom teams will now be concentrating on trying to stay in the competition for the upcoming season and it is also sending a message that the teams must play hard from the start of the competition.

I don't believe the lower teams should play amongst themselves in the final round. I think that everyone should be given a chance to play for the title.

It is an excellent format because it is mirroring international leagues and if we are going to move football forward in this country then this is the way to go.

I think it is a good decision because the top six teams will get a chance to play among each other while the bottom six teams play among each other for the right to stay up or get relegated.

I like the new format because it is a lot more competitive than the others before. It also draws a lot of interest to the game.
