promotion and relegation : Fri Mar 13, 2009 7:51 am
Taken from the club site:
The RFL has confirmed the promotion and relegation mechanics for this season's Co-operative Championships ahead of tonight's big kick off.
The bottom two clubs in The Co-operative Championship at the end of the regular season will be relegated. The only exception is that Toulouse Olympique are exempt from relegation and therefore should Toulouse finish in either tenth or eleventh place then the club finishing ninth will be relegated in their place.
In The Co-operative Championship 1 the club finishing in first place at the end of the regular season will win automatic promotion whilst the clubs placed second to seventh will enter the play-offs with the eventual winner being promoted.
The Championship 1 play off final clash will once again form an integral part of the exciting Co-operative Championships Finals Day triple header which will take place at The Halliwell Jones Stadium on Sunday 4 October.
The RFL have also confirmed that Rochdale Hornets will start their Co-operative Championship 1 campaign on minus nine points as a result of going into administration.
