IV seedings

After a recent facebook debate sparked by one Limerick "Jim" Heneghan the IFDA seem to have altered their usual seeding policy for Open Intervarsities. In a private communication intercepted by the ultileaks tech team the seedings seem to show bonuses for colleges that field multiple teams. Due to this UCC have been granted a top four seeding for all three of their teams. Some critics of this policy suggested that it gives UCC an unfair advantage as they have triple the chances of winning. A prominent Cork rookie is quoted as saying "I would simply refuse to play and I would hope anyone else in the club would do the same" in relation to playing the first team. So it seems that two of the top 3 seeded teams that UCC will have to play this weekend plan on laying down as they stroll to the final against a presumably tired opposition who was actually made to work for their victories. It looks like the smart money will be behind the rebels this year with such an overwhelming advantage going into the tourney.
