With the summer season being the grading season and some divisions (eg Div 2) having 15 or so teams in two pools will the bottom teams be dropped to Div 3 to leave a 12 team comp in winter with one pool. Will it then push div 3 teams down to div 4? and so on and so forth, anyone have the correct info on this?

i would expect some commonsense -
i.e. 12 would be the maximum of teams in one grade - UNLESS - these big groups ie 14-15 teams get close results - then they may do it like seniors - ie 15-16 teams run and north and south pool - play each other twice and then play one cross over round with teh other pool.
if your team is getting spanked each week - you obviously are in the wrong grade.
it seems to be mainly for moving teams down a brade rather than moving anyone up - it is a fair way - we should have pro / rel anyway.
i would also expect some communication between the clubs and grader - ie you may have 2 div 1 players coming for winter - but not playing summer.
obviously this sort of thing will affect results

BSA seem to have set up the summer season ready for promotion / relegation. Many of the grades have two pools with cross overs in week 8 and 9. So theoretically they could rank teams and distribute them into smaller divisions (ie 8 or 10 or 12 teams). That is assuming that they got the seedings fairly right to start with (ie putting an even number of good and bad teams in each pool).
If I count right, there is now enough weeks in the "winter" season to have three rounds with 10 team divisions (27 weeks) and three weeks of finals (top 4 only).
Does anyone actually know what is going on? Or is it all a big secret?

Winter will be as usual, not 27 rounds. 18 rounds in a 10 team comp.

wes - you appear to be commenting on Div 1 only - what about the rest!

I don't know, I was just responding to Pegs' comments re 10 team comps. I think you can be pretty sure that there will not be a 27 week season + finals in any division.

Others will be 22 (12 or 11 team) or 21 (8,7,6 or 5 team) round comps.

Wes are you forgetting that we gained four weeks as we don't have the last two rounds of summer and finals for summer during January / February?
Are division 1s still having finals?
Am I confused?

I'm not forgetting anything Pegs. Yes we have gained 4 weeks due to the shortened summer season. But winter will still be as usual. There are just less games in the year now.
No there no div 1 finals in summer.
Yes you are confused :)
