if we introduce promotion/relegation - the effects would be

the good players from a poor performing club leave to go to a club with 2 div one teams.

This makes 3/4 Super clubs with the rest left with scraps.

the immediate benefit lies within the current high div 2 teams, and low div one teams, being exposed to more competition. If we were to have a 10 team competition, would we pro/rel two teams?

or is 8 enough?

How often would this occur, could a mid season and end of season pro/rel be an option. and what would happen at the end of the season, if a team of top age-ers finished top of div 2, then the next season if they were put up, it owuld be a completely different team!

How would we ensure this situation did not occur (as it defeats the purpose of the pro/rel)??

would you limit it to the Div one/twos. Ie- teams can fall from 1-2 or rise from 2-1 but can't fall below 2. Or would you make it across the board so that all divisions (bar the last) have 10 teams.

Any if your going to go this far, why limit it at two. That's only half a fix. Lets stop holding back the clubs that focus on development!

so is pro/rel to answer or a band-aid fix to a bigger problem? What other things need to change, or happen?

I still think we are far off laughing stock, but i can see our results (2004-2005) have not gone in the right direction.

you do have to remember that most other states are older than us.

i think it is unfair to place your entire argument on one tournament of one year. Where have we finished in these age groups over the last 3-5 years? How about the classic results, that's not good news?

hmmmm, you seem quite strongly about this. I'd like to discuss it some more. ie what would be the ramifications of this promotion relegation long-term on clubs.

How would it effect the long-term standard of basketball?

Once clubs were relegated would it ever be possibly to regain their div 1 status (realistically?).

As for being a laughing stock, i think that is quite questionable... we did take two titles from the classics and a silver at the 18's nationals, can you support your claim of us being a laughing stock please.
