All these byes is getting ridiculous. Why didn't they just put teams with 3 grades in ZPL for this year only.
Sure that would mean Kotara South would be in ZL1 but for one year who really cares. Surely it's not that complicated.

They could have shuffled the decks to make up divisions. Hit all age teams to fill the gaps and if there is a bye, put it in zl2. Or chase up one of the clubs that pulled out to reconsider??
