Promotion, Relegation & League Structure

[The Postman]

Pretty much halfway through the season, if promotion and relegation happened today.

NPL - 12 teams
Relegated to NL1 - Lakes
Pro/Rel Playoff - Adamstown

NL1 - 10 teams
Promoted to NPL - Belswans
Pro/Rel Playoff - Kahibah, West Wallsend, Thornton *if they meet criteria

ZL1 - 12 teams
Promoted to NL1 - Newcastle Suns
Relegated to ZL2 - Minmi

ZL2 - 11 teams
Promoted to ZL1 - Stockton
Relegated to ZL3 - South Maitland

ZL3 - 12 teams
Promoted to ZL2 - Lambton Jaffas


I wonder if the Federations will change things up to get ZL2 to an even number of teams. No relegation from ZL2 would be the simple fix, and then who knows what clubs drop out and/or join ZL3.

ZL3 should be the only grade with a bye and also the most transient as clubs workout whether ZL is for them or not.

I predict NL1 will be
Kahibah v Toronto
Adamstown v West Wallsend
