I asked the question after reading that post.

"If Stop Out go up, they are replaced by Upper Hutt and the normal two teams go down from Cap Prem.

But if Wanganui go up, Stop Out stay in Cap Prem (again) and Upper Hutt come down, meaning an extra team has to drop out of Cap Prem"

Which part explains the reason for the extra team dropping only if Wanganui go up? Presumably Upper Hutt come down regardless of who goes up, and Wanganui stay if Stop Out go up, as do Stop Out if Wanganui go up, so I don't fully understand the relegation. I get the issue with Cap 1 being 11 teams this year, but I don't quite understand the difference between Stop Out or Wanganui going up which is what I asked. I do play in a lowly social division though so may not be up to speed with the rules at this high level.

Edit: Looking at the league tables I now see Wanganui were not in Cap Prem so assume this is a playoff with the winners from another region. Should have checked that first, I had assumed it was a playoff between 2 teams from the same division to decide who went up. So presumably it's to make sure Cap Prem remains 10 teams and not 11.
