**Promotion / Relegation

This season our league will be run similar to many leagues, we know and watch, throughout the world. The top team from each "lower" division will be promoted to the "upper" level within their respective division, A or B. This would also have the bottom team from each "upper" division relegated to the "lower" level within their division. *The promotion and relegation of teams will be determined based on each division's regular season games, with play-off games excluded. *Teams will not be promoted / relegated between divisions (A and B). This will keep all of our division on a more level playing field. Team(s) who excel in a particular "lower" division will be challenged the following year by teams in the upper division, while the bottom team(s) from the "upper" divisions will get to join the "lower" level within their division, and seek to be more successful than they were the previous season.
