New competition structure for 2024.

Video explaining how it will work.

Interesting format.

Was there always 11 teams? Bye rounds suck, so I imagine they're best avoided.

There have been more teams (eg ARKs, Curtin, Rockingham, Mandurah) who struggled to field teams as required.
Need to grow the game so can move into larger Div 1 and Div 2 with promotion/relegation between the two - and avoid byes.
The broader WF squad could then play in Div 1 as Div 2, at the moment, just aren't good enough. (But not a popular viewpoint in the West).
Last years ladder says a lot when you look at the gap between 6 & 7.
Points (55 v 40) and points difference (+188 v -250).
It's not going to be popular as Nedlands was last year's No 7.
