It's not that. It's as described elsewhere. You must be punished for not fielding all teams. There are teams which have accrued 0-6 points this year. Those clubs would be far better off not fielding a side in those age groups if there's no punishment for not fielding a team.
Charlestown shouldn't be eligible for promotion. Same goes for any club not fielding sides in all age groups.
