No, you’ll need to explain why there are 9 teams in red please.

Up to 9 can be relegated. If a team is relegated from the SPFL then two go down from the Lowland league, if they are both west based and If the winners of the West of Scotland league are not promoted to the Lowland league then 9 go to make it 16 for next season. 
 

LL club 17
LL club 18 

Auchinleck
Pollok 
Clydebank
Kilwinning
Darvel
Hurlford 
Rutherglen
Beith 
Irvine Meadow 
Troon
Benburb

Conference A Winners
Conference B Winners
Conference C Winners

 

Although in reality the lowest placed West based Lowland League Teams are Cumbernauld Colts (8 points from safety) and Broomhill (14 points from safety). So it’s an utter long shot. Vale of Leithen look doomed already. 
 

Rob Roy and Cumnock in 12th and 13th places would be all but safe and Glenafton would survive if the Champions get promoted.

If a team is relegated from the SPFL by thee Highland League winners.

Broomhill are an east-based team for the purposes of relegation, so it would need to be both Colts and Caley Braves finishing in the bottom two. Which will soon become mathematically impossible anyway as Braves are effectively 27 points ahead with 14 games remaining for the winless Vale of Leithen.

I triple read my post to make sure I included everything and still missed it needing to be the HL winners! 

You have to love that a club that used to literally have “Glasgow” in its name counts as an EoS club :D

Thanks for the explanation both of you. So based on the current standings, is it likely to be six or seven relegated?

Having seen Meadow v Penicuik and Musselburgh this season if the West League winner turns up and at full strength for the play off they should win and be promoted. But if ends up one game play off away to top East team then could see an upset.

It has the potential to be a crapshoot. You don't necessarily need to win, just not lose. If the game ends in a draw it would go to penalties to give a team an extra point.

As decisive as the WoS v. EoS games will be, the SoS champion has the potential to be a real spoiler. As they'd be playing defensively to avoid a heavy defeat and could take a game to penalties.

Hopefully it will be the only season quite like this one with the LL seeing sense and increasing promotion.

Correct, if the Lowland League want to harp on about getting an automatic or more promotion places to the SPFL then they need to get the house in order first.

I wonder what would happen in this hypothetical situation.

Auchinleck win their next two Phase 1 games so would be top of the League.

Their form dips and Pollok overtake them. After 32 games Pollok "win" the League but then the League is halted because of a lockdown. The rules state you go back to the standings at the end of Phase 1.

In that scenario, if the season couldn't be played to a finish, Auchinleck would be champions.

Is that the ruling ? Makes the first phase all important then, is this all rather than PPG and other nonsense ? Doesn't make the inability to finish the season worth thinking about. Guessing that you don't need to have played a %  of games either then,fingers crossed that the season gets completed !
