KINGSTONE Press Cider National Conference League bosses have confirmed the play-off, promotion and relegation formats for the 2016 season.
The top six in the 12-team Premier Division will contest the championship play-offs, and the bottom three will be relegated.
Three sides will be promoted from Division One – two automatically and a third through a four-team play-off – and the bottom four will drop out of the 14-strong section.
Two teams will go up from 12-team Division Two, comprising the champions and the survivor of a four-way play-off. The three sides propping up the divisions will go down.
The leaders of Division Three will, similarly, be promoted, together with the team that remains unbeaten in the play-offs. The two sides closing at the foot of the 12-team pile will be obliged to seek re-election.
