Having a fair idea who the teams are that would be grouped for part 2 of the season, 8/8/6 seems fairest. The top 2 teams in NL1 will do well against the bottom 6 NPL clubs. No getting around the fact that even the bottom 2 clubs in the top 8 will be in for some rough days. Some of the 'relegated' NPL teams should be happy with this format.
