Dunedin Weekly SS Competition
These competitions are organised by the Dunedin Netball
Centre. Some Snr A teams play in the open or adult grades each
Saturday. The remaining secondary school teams play in three grades
that are divided into sections. Teams may enter the Senior,
Intermediate (4th form) or Junior (3rd form) grades. Two weeks of
grading games are held before dividing teams into
sections of six or eight teams. At the end of round one
teams are promoted or relegated automatically for winning or losing
their section. DNC reserve the right to also re-grade during the
competition if a team is in a section not suitable for them. At the
conclusion of round two, semis and finals are held, with
promotion/relegation taking place at the conclusion of finals.
Grading - Saturday 13 May and Saturday 20 May
Round 1 -
27 May to 22 July
