Just for clarification, if any of the 2 championship players do get removed, all their previous scores will be amended to 0.
This will benefit some players who had previously lost their head to head fixtures, but it's the only fair way to do it as scoring all their future games as 0 is unfair on those who have already been up against those players twice and won't have 3 head to head points handed to them in the last 11 weeks.
