in a 10 team summer comp it is placings after round 9 provided everyone has played each other. If 8 team comp or 9 etc its after everyone has played each other over summer.
they are split into pools with a formula - i.e. 10 team comp summer placings 1,3,6,8 and 9 in one pool and 2,4,5,7 and 10 in the other. If a Div 1 team nominates for reserves they get no. 1 seeding and if a div 2 nominates for Div 1 they get lowest seeding. Only 1 team per member club in state and 1 in reserve. No longer any div 3 / 4 teams can nominate.
