Would it be possible or feasible to get a set for the English RFU championship from the 2022-23 season?

It was the season the Jersey Reds won it and I'd like to see how they fared if they had got promoted!

Thanks for your consideration.

Hi Matthew.

Oddly enough, I had previously planned to create that season for the reason that Jersey won the Championship, but after they closed up I decided not to bother doing so.

I absolutely could still do this season set, however as I'm pretty sure Premiership and Championship clubs didn't play each other in 2022-23, and no team was promoted to the Premiership, if you wanted to play them with the 2023-24 top flight clubs, you would have to decide what kind of adjustments you'd want to make to Jersey's lower division ratings to compensate for playing at a higher level anyway.

I will add it to my list again of things to consider rating.

Hope this is of help in some way, and thanks for the question and interest.

I'd probably have it similar to the way the Japanese league set handles promotion/relegation with stats changes (even though I don't have that set) - are there any inbuilt rules regarding that set?

If not, I'd probably just swap the relegated teams stats with Jersey!

That's right. Although I would use the one I use in the English club sets for Rugby 13s, as the Japanese one can be done because I put all the teams in two divisions into the same pool to rate with each other in that one, whereas they're kept separate to their divisions in the other.

But as there were no Premiership vs Championship games played in 2022-23, I couldn't use either method for that. You could just take the modifiers found from the promotion/relegation series matches in a Japanese set and it would be somewhat of a corollary that you could use.

The only way around of it would be to do the 2023-24 season as well, and then use the Premiership Rugby Cup matches between them in that season for the modifier.

I'd love the 23/24 season as well tbh!

I'm not surprised by that. I thought you would do.

I will take a look about doing them both, although it won't be for a while at least, until all of the sets for competitions ending in the coming weeks are created.

It gives me incentive to do them, knowing people will actually want them.

Paul.
