Points determine your position, which determines your qualification, so it is the same method. Still would be 2 teams with the most points.

In saying that, it doesn't really surprise me they chose to just use position.
Not quite, doing it via points creates a much bigger gap across the past 4 seasons. If it were done via points (and my math is correct); Wellington United would have only needed 4 more points to have qualified for next year, and Waterside Karori would have needed 15 more points to qualify. These figures would take them above Petone, assuming they didn't drop a point here on it.
 
Not that this matters of course as this is not the case!
His point was regarding you saying that positions determine 2026 qualification. Points ranking and position ranking are the same thing in a one year snapshot.

Being by position,  you want the lower number in the Weighted Position column.

What I realised is that if you sum the weighted positions as it stands at the beginning of this season and divide this number by 0.3, you can then simply add this years position to that number and the relative ranking will be maintained.  So a little bit easier to figure out what needs to happen this year as you just need to look at the difference between the two numbers and round up to see how many positions ahead you need to be.

Hence with Waterside (5.5) and Petone (7.8), Petone needs to beat Waterside by 3 positions to overtake them.
Similarly Wellington (3.5) and Petone (7.8), Petone needs to beat Wellington by 5 positions to overtake them.

Thanks, so with that correction ...
Petone need to beat WK by 2 positions or WU by 4 positions.

So basically what I'm hearing is Petone is very unlikely to qualify for NL27

Petone qualify if they finish first, Wellington United second and Waterside Karori third.

Thankfully Petone don't play Wellington United on the final day.

If they finish in this order, Petone and Karori would actually be on equal points no? And although common sense should prevail - I would hazard a guess that there is nothing in writing should this occur?

I believe Petone would be 0.05 points ahead

 Ella McMillan made four substitute appearances for the first team across the 2023-24 and 2024-25 campaigns.

She has joined Waterside Karori for the women’s Central League season but
will continue to work as a physical performance scientist at the Nix academy.

Anyone closer to the setup can tell me why Ela Jerez, who looked like dynamite at Western Springs, has crashed and burned?

No, I mean, why? Was it performance issues, "team culture" issues, "personal" issues? This might sound nosy but a talent like that doesn't just vaporize

Capital Football and Central Football advise that Taradale AFC has withdrawn from the 2026 Women’s Central League, effective immediately.

Round 1 results will stand, while all remaining fixtures involving Taradale AFC have been cancelled. The competition table and fixtures have been updated accordingly.

So, what happens to the players from what was the Central League team?  I note that this decision has been made after the cut off time to allow the players to transfer to another club.

I've been seeing a lot of people in the Central Football comment section having a go at Napier City Rovers for this fall off from Taradale. I am not a Rovers fan in the absolute slightest, but these comments seem petty and short-sighted. After talking to a mate that plays for Rovers and moved from another HB club, it feels harsh to blame Rovers for this downfall.

If you're a women's player, would you rather be playing at Bluewater Stadium for home games, having access to gyms and Sport HB facilities, hugely experienced coaches, or play for a club that has been neglecting their Women's team more and more each year? Taradale used to be the force in HB, but their drop off has been quick and in turn, has given Rovers the opportunity to become the dominant force in HB women's football.

The same goes for Port Hill, who have also been vocal in the comments. For clubs at this level, a big thing for players at this level is "what is your pitch", or basically, why should I play for this team over this team? I've heard people accusing Rovers of paying women's players and signing them up for multi-year contracts, which is just ridiculous. Clubs should be thinking about what they're offering players at their club that Rovers aren't? It feels like people are a little bit butt-hurt that Rovers are finally stepping up their women's programme, and offering players in the region a level of setup that other club's can't.
