The regs refers to "position" and not "points", if "position" then how does the determination account for different number of teams in a league from one season to next or a team not being in the league, if "points" then does the calculation adjust for different number of games per season?HuttValleyHunter wrote:The WCL regulations are still aligned with MCL2, since it's a Capital/Central Fed competition rather than an NZF one like the MCL. In particular they have similar transitional provisions for the new 2027 league structure - no relegation this year and the future promotion pathway into WCL to be determined following consultation.
What’s the story with Women’s CL this year?…Do they follow the same comp structure as men’s central league?
One difference from MCL2 is that entry into the 2027 Women's National League is already spelt out:
* Top four NRFL teams (where "top" is a weighted average of 2022-2026 performance)
* Top two WCL
* Top two WSL
* Nix and AFC Reserves (implying AFC will have a Women's Reserves team up and going by then)
I know there are questions around whether MCL2 will still exist in 2027, but sounds like WCL's future is pretty solid?
No idea how positions work - which is silly considering the men are doing points - but is it relevant that a team was not in the league?
