Promotion, relegation, and all other issues surrounding 50-over cricket in Bermuda are supposed to come to a head this Sunday, the final day of the league season.

And with Somerset and Devonshire Rec battling to avoid relegation from the Premier Division, while First Division sides Western Stars and Social Club fight to replace them, it should be a day of high drama.

Except for the fact that, once again, the league seems destined to finish in chaos and confusion.

Western Stars' season is over already. They played their final game against Flatts last weekend, a win which ended their opponents' own slim promotion hopes and pushed Stars into second, one point ahead of Social Club.

Social Club play Somerset Bridge on Sunday, and a win should, technically, see them promoted.

However, both Social Club and Stars are waiting for the Bermuda Cricket Board to rule on the outcome of a game between the two that didn't take place because, according to Social Club, Stars' wicket wasn't ready. But that was on the Sunday after Cup Match and Stars apparently believe it was too wet to play.

If Social Club are given the points, they will be promoted without needing to beat Somerset Bridge. If the sides share the points, then Social Club will be a point behind and will need to win.

In the unlikely event that Stars are awarded the points, they would be promoted, no matter what Social Club do on Sunday.

Despite the fact that the game was scheduled at the beginning of the month, the BCB's technical committee are still to make a decision. It leaves Social Club in no man's land, and the team facing the possibility that their fate won't be decided until days after the season has finished.

The situation is far clearer in the top-flight, where Somerset and Rec's positions are relatively simple. Level on points, level on games won, the season could be decided by the two matches they played against each other. Both of which Rec won.

If Somerset and Rec both lose, then Somerset go down, it is the same if they both win. The only way that Somerset can survive is if they beat Bailey's Bay at home, and Rec lose to PHC.

That scenario isn't as unlikely as it might sound. Bay are still trying to get over their loss to Rangers last weekend, which cost them the title.

Tthe club is still in chaos internally, following the suspensions given to Stephen Outerbridge and Cory Hill, and, perhaps most importantly, Bay have nothing to play for except pride.

They are guaranteed second spot and a place in the Belco Cup next year. However, the chance to relegate a Somerset side who beat them by six wickets at Sea Breeze Oval earlier this season could prove motivation enough.

PHC, meanwhile, have to win against Rec to book their place in the top four, and potentially secure themselves third place. With just three points separating them, Willow Cuts and St David's, they cannot afford to slip up.

The other two play each other tomorrow, in a game left over from June 19, and while that is Cuts' last game of the season, St David's finish against Rangers at home on Sunday.
