Quote:As it stands at the moment Div 5 would have the five new teams and the three lowest from div 4.That's what I assumed with my first reply. If that is the case, then the new div. 5 becomes, in effect, the previous div. 4, when it was two up, two down. I just don't see the logic in suddenly making it winners-only-up, even for this season.
If there turn out to be enough entries for a div. 4 and div. 5, and if you want to operate winners-only-up, then the only equitable way to do it, IMO, is to create two divisions of roughly equal strength, then the two promoted teams could realistically be seen as those who would have been the top two in a single division.
Quote:I am delighted with our success and growth and this is definitely a matter that will have to be brought up at next year's AGM (If we don't get a Div 5 this session) to ensure that we all know what will happen if we need to open up a new division in the future.I applaud all your efforts and hard work to make the SNCL what it is today, but, with the greatest respect, next year's AGM is irrelevant to the situation that might arise now. The time to raise the matter of possible expansion was at a previous AGM or when drafting the constitution, not less than a fortnight before the start of the event.
Of course, it might never happen!!
