Good news, keep getting at it. Good luck in the return leg.
Ba Zamfoot! What are these relegation play offs? You recently posted an article indicating that Chisamba helped his club survive relegation…what are these relegation play offs for?
There is automatic relegation which means the last team in the league are relegated straight, no chance of even participating in the play offs. The team that wins the first division is promoted straight as well and also do not participate in the play-offs.
The second last team in the premier and the second and third team in the first division then play in the play-offs with the winner of the round robin then playing in the premier the next season.
So Zamfoot was right, Chisambas team avoided relegation by not being the last team but to survive and play in the premier league they will have to win the play-offs. Same system is used in the PSL.
Ok! Thanx @ Big Steve for the info.
I wish you good luck chisambaludhino . Very skillful player indeed .
