       awarded on merit rather than the next on list who hasn’t had it
       a cup final?

       I absolutely agree.  Disqualifying top referees because they
       have had the final before is ridiculous.  It needs to be a
       reward for performance, not time-served endurance.  This is a
       major fixture and teams deserve the best officials for it.
       Giving it to the 'next cab off the rank' makes no sense,
       especially when there are so few new faces coming to SG1, which
       would eventually mean the weakest would get the final.  The old
       policy made as much sense as saying previous finalist teams
       could not play in the final again.
