After much planning from the Seniors Planning Committee, please see below the revised senior league format which has been given IHNSW approval for implementation for the 2008 Winter season.
All senior non-contact hockey will now be referred to as Senior B
All teams will be divided in to divisions, labelled Division 1, Division 2 (and Division 3 if needed). The divisions will be based on last season standings in previous Senior B and C competitions.
In terms of creating the divisions, the splits will be conducted according to three rules:
-A minimum of 6 teams per division; and
-A maximum of 8 teams per division, provided this is not in conflict with rule 1.
Where the divisions would have an unequal number of teams, the Seniors Planning Committee to decide how may teams in each division based on relative competitiveness of the teams.
Based on the standings at the end of the regular season the top team in Division 2 will be promoted to Division 1 with the bottom team in Division 1 being relegated. The same will be repeated in Division 3 if required.
