1st and 2nds stick together 3rd Grade comp stand alone.
Existing 7 teams plus Hay/Leeton/Deni who decide who’s playing 1st grade, 2nds 3rds via Preseason playoff at start of the year.Unless they field 2 grades.

1st round 8 clubs play each other (7 games)
2nd round split Top 4 Premier and Bottow 4 Plate Comp play each other twice. (6 games)
3rd grade open to all 3rd grade clubs and loser of preseason playoff.

Top 4 Finals everyone plays first week.
First week 1v2 3v4
(3 week finals)


16 week competition.

None of this is a new concept.
Split comp in the past in SIRU
Canberra lower grades play different comp every weekend.

So with the split mid season would that be based on the position of the Club's 1st Grade standing or would it be say based on a Club C'Ship concept of the tiering of points for 1st Grade, 2nd Grade & Womens for each club ?

As in the past follow 1st grade. Points carry over for lower grades. Women’s comp would best to stand alone comp as 3rd grade.
Wouldn’t be too hard to align most games with all grades playing together but clubs would have to be prepared to split when needed as in the John Dent Comp Canberra.
It’s over confusing the concept of points tiering what worked before can work again.

Whistle’s post implies an uneven playing field. Will Cranky’s or any other scheme work if the issues he has brought up aren’t addressed?
