Hi All has you know the B C and D Leagues do not have the full 18 Teams.
The B league has 16 the C and D only have 15 Teams. In order to address this situation we are going to even all the Leagues up to 16 per League next season.
So this means this season there will be 5 Teams going down from the A League and the B League and 4 from the C League. The meeting decided to take this action now before a ball was struck so that all teams know were they stand and what they have to do this season to stay in there present League.
The Season will still be based over 18 teams in a League but for the first 4 months everyone will have there 4 open dates on the same Thursday. On these open dates they will become Handicap Team and Scratch Team Knockout Dates.
With the Scratch Competitions moving into the season instead of the summer this will also benifit the Scratch Team by more Teams entering the Competition. Also it will benifit Teams who are knocked out early, to arrange friendlys with other Teams who are also out.
This decision had the full backing from the delegate meeting held on the 24th August
