Just make it a Round-Robin tournament and get it over with.

I assume it’ll impact seedings for the following year to some degree.

That's what I assumed... But there are no seedings? Unless this continues in future, so its potentially a promotion /relegation battle on the sly

The bbc explain it quite well

what i don't get is what is the point of the last bit, for teams who don't qualify for a play off for the lords final, they go off and play another four games for nowt. i mean, i love cricket, it just seems a bit pointless

You could say the same about any league type competition when you’re near the bottom of the table with no chance of winning. Every game is a game worth winning and there‘s still some merit it winning Div 2 or Div 3. What’s the alternative? Send them home to play tiddlywinks? Id rather watch them play cricket, even in a dead rubber.

its a bit different when you're in a league and you finish it off. this splits us into three groups, then after we've played those groups we then get moved into a different set of groups to play more games that for div 2 & 3 have no relevancy.
