If you look at the Northern Area table, you will see that the anomalies spring from a number of bands being tied on the same points total: where two would normally be promoted or regulated, if bands are tied they are all treated the same, giving the area a very small Championship section for next year.PlayerPete said:Can someone clarify rules for promotion/relegation.
5 down from championship section.
1 up and 2 down from first.
3 up and 4 down from second.
1 up and 1 down from third.
2 up from fourth.
Are these numbers official?
How do you work them out? - it seems very random.:? :?
PlayerPete said:My main query is the seemingly randomness of promotion/relegation. I can understand if bands are on the same points they are treated the same. If 5 are going down from top section (appeals apart) why is only 1 going up and not 2?
Why only 1 promotion and 1 relegation from the 3rd section when there is obvious room for 2?
