Last week PRNA forwarded the Club Grading Policy Guide for the 2020 season. Please find below club/grading information copied directly from the proposed policy. In 2019 PRNA proposed for the 2020 season, that grading be split into two separate groups, SC1 and SC2 and. SC1 will encompass U11 to U14. SC2 will encompass Modified, Inters and Opens. Each club will have one representative at either the SC1 or SC2 grading.
“SC1 - Juniors will participate in a Junior carnival prior to round 1. The group will spend time at lunch and at the end of carnival to review move and then finalise teams for the Junior divisions. Clubs will be notified, any feedback will be provided and round 1 will start with no further moves for these divisions.
SC2- Mody, Inter and Divs will have a normal grading meeting prior to round 1 with a re- grade after round 5. This group will follow the current PRNA policy in relation to grading.
Note: Trial junior carnival will be reviewed by delegates in 2020.”
In summary, ACE members need to be aware that essentially the club/team grading will not change for Modified, Inters or Opens (SC2), ie nomination of teams into divisions prior to week 1 fixtures and re-grading after round 5.
SC1 teams, U11 to U14 will attend a COMPULSORY grading carnival on Saturday 28 March 2020. Details will be available when ACE is advised of the arrangements. This date is in the ACE Calendar on the website.
