The stats from these ‘play in series’ would have to go somewhere

And like you mention, there is the odd commercial situation here or there that may be impacted. Neal certainly is unique in that a transaction is dependent on it, and there may be other contracts out there with performance based bonuses

Interesting, and I hope we get to find out!
Also, how would it effect the lottery? Would the teams eliminated in the play-in round get a shot at LaFreniere?
