Sevenoaks Suns - All Play Suspended (inc. WBBL Cup Final)

Just read that the Manchester Mystics have also done likewise.

Interesting. I agree, no difference in safety between playing league or cup games. If the rumour is true then Sevenoaks were clearing looking to exercise some form of risk management - accepting the risk of playing in the Cup final for it's greater reward, but not accepting the risk of playing league games for little reward. Makes sense from Sevenoaks perspective. But I can understand why the WBBL themselves wouldn't like the idea. Although personally I don't see the harm in letting them play in the Cup final and postpone just a few league games to later in the season.
 

Not really... when you look at it from a risk/reward strategy it makes sense to perhaps accept the associated risk of playing the Cup final game, but not accept that same risk playing a few league games (and request they be postponed and rescheduled). That's from a Sevenoaks view of course, as I said, I can understand the WBBL seeing it differently themselves.

However it slightly surprises me that WBBL didn't accept that logic if only to prevent a somewhat disrupted Cup final fixture in front of a national television audience. 
But as we've seen with the BBL, it appears there's no concern about how disrupting the competition format by moving teams around as they feel necessary is perceived. At least in that respect they're somewhat consistent - it would have been unfair to show flexibility for Sevenoaks Suns and not for Manchester Giants.
