Dan, with respect, why do you insist on one point per game m8?
In any other competition, an average score would be offered, giving the newcomer a score of about 16, which gives them a chance.
Starting them 15 points behind the leader on 11 is a bit harsh in my opinion, and gives them little chance of ever catching RT.
Just my thoughts.
OK something like Average minus 2? - 12th place out of 20?
If it were after 12 games 4W-4D-4L would be 16pts
I'm happy to agree to anything that everyone thinks is fair.
