Using the section of the Constitution, Bylaws and Operating Rules Sections 10.2:

Standings will be determined on the basis of two (2) points per win, one (1) point per tie, and zero (0) points per loss.

The standings for deciding the re-alignment of divisions will include all games that were played in the previous year, whether the scores were e-mailed in to the SSPA e-mail account or not.

Using the CBOR Section 10.4:

Teams shall be divided into divisions as follows:

From the previous year’s final standing. The top two- (2) teams of each division will move up a division and placed in the bottom two (2) positions. Eg. 11 team division, they would be placed 10 and 11. The bottom two- (2) teams from each division will move down a division and be placed third (3rd

) and fourth (4th ) from the bottom. Eg. 11 team division, they would be 8 and 9.

If spots are available, a team may volunteer to be accepted into a division. If more than the required number of teams volunteer for a division, the teams will be accepted based on their record in the previous year's standings. Teams having a superior record will be accepted into a division. If less than the required number of teams for a division volunteer, the division will be filled to the required number of teams from non- volunteering teams with the most superior records from the previous year’s standings.

This procedure will be repeated for B division, then C division, and then D division if applicable.

No. Unlike some leagues, divisions are divided based on performance. Please see above for details.
