Relegation Play-Offs

Relegation Format

The provincial championship winners are exempt from relegation even if they finish bottom of their group. The number of relegation play-off games is therefore dependent on the number of non provincial winners who finish bottom of their group. The losers of the relegation play-offs play in next year's intermediate championship.
