Tiered Leinster SHC

I wonder if there is enough value to doing well in proposed 'Leinster SHC Group 1' - lose 3 group games, advance to Lein QF; win all 3, earn a QF bye instead?

Like Munster, perhaps it would have been best to have 2 home/2 away ties per team.

I'd amend the Proposal as follows:
✓ In lieu of Leinster 8/McDonagh 4, I'd go with 7/5,
respectively
✓ 'McDonagh 5' round robin, like Munster
✓ 'Leinster 7' schedule = 'Mid 3' (seeds
3,4,5) plays the 'Other 4' (1,2,6,7); plus
1v2 & 6v7
✓ 'Leinster table top 4 of 7' to Leinster SFs; and
'Leinster 6th & 7th' v 'McDonagh top 2 of
5' in McDonagh Cup SFs
✓ 'McDonagh 4th v 5th' in Relegation Final

What do you think?
