League Qualification to be cancelled if HC Red Ice & HC Ajoie make it to the final

The reason is simple: HC Ajoie has not handed in an application for the NLA and would thus not be promoted regardless of outcome, whereas HC Red Ice has applied, but their application was not accepted by the league.

While the playoff final of course would take place to determine the Swiss champion, the league qualification would then be cancelled, as both teams would not be eligible to play in the NLA, even if they were to win the series against the NLA team. (mso)
