Yes I appreciate that - my point is that the team in first place has clinched a play-off place by one means or another and I would find it useful for that to be noted in the standings.
I probably shouldn't have mentioned the second place team having the z- as that wasn't really the point I was trying to make. If the second place team has clinched a wildcard, it stands to reason that the leader would also be guaranteed to be in the play-offs - so the issue is actually more relevant when no other team in that division has yet clinched a place.
Some sort of designation would tell me when my team (or indeed any other) is certain to be in the play-offs even if subsequently overtaken in the division.
