There will also be another review held by all CPC members on Monday the 25th of November to check all grading movement. This is a new system which allows the competitions to be further reviewed to achieve even more closer contested competitions.
What does this mean for your team? If your team has been re graded you will receive 2 championship points for every game you played, along with 20 points for and 20 points against. This will mean you are not disadvantaged when entering the new competitions. These ladder amendments will take place over the next 2 weeks. you can also check to see if your team has moved by either checking the PDF or speak to your club which will notify everyone by team app, Facebook, website or text. Many clubs have already started to do this.
When will all the changes be made? Right now! you will notice that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday are already online. Friday fixtures will be altered in the coming days but as there is no games this Friday 8th of November, we have a little more time.
What’s happening with the Under 12s? you will notice that the 12 A Grade games this week include round 4 (not round 5) games only.
