Not quite sure what you mean there as a team can come 1st and win minor and major premierships with thire 2nd & 3rds not making semis yet still get promoted ... if it's the other way around and 1st's don't make semis then it doesn't matter if 2nd and 3rd grade are undefeated all year the club doesn't get promoted.
but first grade wins are worth more points.
reserves more than thirds..
Club Championship will mean the strongest SQUAD gets promoted, not the strongest first grade team.
The reason why you often see a lot of NPL clubs juniors get destroyed, because they're promoted based one one team performance, not the squads.
A very easy example is the 2018 Sydney NPL competition. Bonnyrigg first grade finish second last, but were relegated as that competition based promotion/relegation on Club Championship (a scaled table also using U20 and U18 results)

I have believed for years that Newcastle comps should be based on Club Championship too. There isn't usually a massive variation from the 1st grade ladder, as the points are scaled to favour that grade, but it puts more emphasis on having a stronger overall club as opposed to just one grade.

OK
Fair point my friend but unfortunately that isn't how it works as I said a club Lives and Dies by 1st Grade results see from the Zone league rules & Regulations....Quote..E 52 PROMOTION AND RELEGATION
