The Connacht and Munster finals were big events. Standalone events as well with no relevance to the All Ireland championship. At a minimum the All Ireland draw should be after the provincial finals. That might require a partial draw where 4 are drawn against the Connacht and Munster finalists after those finals. The remaining 4 then could be drawn against the Ulster and Leinster finalists after their finals have been played. Sin é! CA!

No, the provincial winners need to be seeded 1, and runners up seeded 2. Top 4 from league seeded 3 and bottom 4 from league seeded 4. Seed 1 v Seed 4 and Seed 2 v Seed 3 with seeds 1 and 2 at home. Thats all that's needed within this system. I, personally, prefer the round robin system but this is the tweak this one needs. The Draw can happen when it happened then. You, if you are not in a provincial finsl, know who you could be playing then and provincial finalists know who they have if they win or lose.

Makes sense. Any chance of making Prov Finals half of Rd 1 ties?
