How about this for more jeopardy:

After 3 games per team, assume team position-based seedings:
Group 1: Teams 1,2,3,4
Group 2: Teams 5,6,7,8
Group McD: Teams 9,10,11,12
______

Eliminate: Team 4
Lein QF: Team 6 hosts Team 3
Lein SFs: Team 1 hosts '6 or 5' and Team 2 hosts '3 or 5'

McD SFs: Team 7 hosts Team 10; Team 9 hosts Team 8
McD Relegation Final: Team 11 hosts Team 12
______

What do you think?

I just read as far as where Team 4 would be eliminated but Team 6 would play a quarter-final. That was enough for me.

Is bottom of page 6 more to your liking?

Replying To Pikeman96:  "My proposed group structure is based loosely on how we do seedings for the group draws of our own club championships in Wexford, albeit we have six per group rather than four.

But basically, for the Leinster SHC this way, it would be:
Pot 1: The two finalists of the previous year
Pot 2: The two beaten semi-finalists of the previous year
Pot 3: The two beaten quarter-finalists of the previous year
Pot 4: The other two

One from Pot 1 is drawn randomly into Group A, then one from Pot 2, etc.,

You're right that the finalists of one year can't meet in the group stage the following year, but it's far from unusual in sports for the top two seeds to be on opposite sides of the draw anyway."
Taking your groups, how about AvB, 4 games, 2 home/2 away (top 2 seeds would then play each other) and 8-team table.
AI SFs 1v4, 2v3; Relegation SFs 5v8, 6v7.
