I think to just show general performance over the season with the champs points, so you have something to look back on. Although they should also put this into Champs so we get a Yearly Champion
it’s for a rare case where an ascension team is in 8th place in points
and a team with less points places top2, getting these points and overtaking them, resulting in the ascension team’s relegation
I thought qualiying for champs will also be considered in relegation. What if 2 ascension teams make champs ,but one with less points wins it, That's why i think champs placement also is a factor.
