The system is designed to maximise excitement and jeopardy. It increases the number of high-stakes matches, which is good for broadcasters, fans and sponsors.
Just do the Macedonian model - split games would start 1v6-7v12 and end 1v2-11v12 based on the table at the start of the split. Police likely wouldn’t like the potential of final day Glasgow title deciders but it’d save on the helicopter budget
Interesting thread. I certainly think there needs to be more teams in the top tier, with two automatic promotions/relegations, with the possibility of a third.

Should Scotland look at something like this?
