OP, well done on being able to do 10mins research, and being able to read a ladder. I'll attempt to help educate you.
pro/rel only applies to junior division 3 and below and only in 12 - 18 grades in BOYS. Doesn't apply to Div 1 & 2. You seem to not understand that.
"commonsense please !"
I agree, shame you've shown none in your post.
"if you go back - most clubs worked there way up through the ranks before making D1/2 etc they had to prove themselves (and that was the criteria !)"
No it was not the criteria. What are you basing that on. The criteria is simple, Clubs can nominate a team on Div 1 and a team in Div 2. In some Div 2 grades clubs can get a second team if they can provide support for the 2nd team.
I'd love you to provide an example of a Division 1 team which has worked its way up from a lower division.
"so i suggest the following teams rethink where they are at -
I have been coaching a long time and suggest these teams may benefit by playing summer a Div below and review their performance for winter."
you are an idiot. Teams will be very different in Summer to the 2013 Winter teams. You're comments are insulting to a number of clubs and the work they are doing.
To showcase this you list teams playing in the lowest grade available and suggested they rethink where they are. They have no where else to go!
"these teams need to think up -
these teams all cruising with results beyond the general standard of comp."
Proving once again you have zero understanding of the junior competition here.
None of the teams you list have anywhere else they can go, unless the players move to another club. I agree with you there, they probably should to pursue basketball at a higher level, but that's an individual player's choice. Nothing to do with the team or pro/rel
If you are actually a coach in the District competition I suggest you call your Coaching Director and spend some time learning how the competition works before making a fool of yourself on here again.
