Q:Can we also add an over-30 (non provincial
) divsion?
A: Although we support the formation of an over 30
division we think this will be an addition for year
2 of the expansion.
There has not been enough of a full commitment to
form a full division to date. This may change once
we have senior C teams.
Q: Would U21 be A or B?
A: A
Q: How would call-ups work with the U21
teams

players can play up to any senior level except
Senior C.
U21 teams can call up from any youth team A or
B.

right fit do they have to apply to the league
and start in the Ritchie the next
year?
A: No. They will have the option of joining the
Dewolfe division.
Q: Will SNS have a larger role in running
the league
A: No. The leagie operations will remain under the
control of the boeard formed by our league reps as
it always has. SNS 's only involvement is the
ask for the MSWSL to manage the offering of the
leagues at these specific categories.
Q:What would happen to the two remaining
Senior B divisions if some of the Jones teams
chose not to transition to the Championship
league and wanted to bump down into Dewolfe?
Would some of the teams in Dewolfe be pushed
into Ritchie to even things out?​

just how imbalanced it ended up being. It would be
avoided if possible.
