Introduction of Promotion and Relegation for Men's Prem Waikato Leagues Term 4, 2025

As our leagues continue to grow and evolve, we are excited to announce significant changes that will enhance the competitive landscape for all participants. Beginning in Term 4 of 2025, we will be implementing a promotion and relegation system designed to create a fairer and more equitable environment for teams.

Due to the increasing popularity of our leagues, we have reached a point where we must turn teams away. To address this challenge and ensure that every team has the opportunity to earn their place in the league, we are establishing clear criteria for entry into the Term 4 league.

Prioritisation Criteria for Entries:

Entries from Term 1: Teams that participated in Term 1 will receive priority consideration for entry into the Term 4 league. This recognizes their commitment and involvement in our league structure.
Placings: The performance of teams during previous terms will also play a crucial role in determining entry. Teams with higher placements will be prioritized based on their standings, ensuring that those who perform well are rewarded with opportunities for advancement.
First Come, First Served: In addition to the above criteria, entries will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until all available spots are filled. We encourage teams to submit their applications promptly for T1 and T4 once details are released.

We believe these changes will foster a more competitive atmosphere while maintaining fairness across all levels of play.
