Do clubs need to have all teams in the same div or can they be separated according to strength?

1. Play the first round in the 2 divisions of 12 teams as per schedule. Bottom 3 NPL club go down for 2nd round. Top 3 NL1 teams go up. (22 games) then semis

or

2. Have 3 divs of 8. Play 1 round (7 games). Bottom team down top team up for final 2 rounds. (21 games) semis for each div.
