(NZ Div 3 Final in North Island
on 9 October)
At the 2009 AGM and Conference, it was decided to change the format to pools of 9 (similar to the North Island Masters format)
Divisions 3 & 4 will be pools of 9 with each team getting 8 ties – 2 ties for each of 4 weekends, with automatic promotion & relegation
The winner of Division 3 will still play off against the winner of the South Island Division 3 to determine who is promoted to Division 2.
Division 5 will be split into 2 zones, with pool sizes dependent on the number of entries
