The Metropolitan Pennant Promotions and Demotions from Season 2022 / 2023 are attached below (Refer Section 13 of the Conditions of Play for the promotion/demotion process). The final placement of sides into Divisions for season 2023 / 2024 might change prior to the start of the season.

The promotions & demotions reflect the MBA Match & Program committee policy of gradually returning the structure of the Wednesday competition Division 3 to four Sections of 10 sides each.

As indicated at the start of season 2022 / 2023, a similar policy is now being applied to Division 6 of the Saturday competition for coming seasons, eventually reducing Division 6 to four Sections of 10 sides each.

Allocation of sides to Sections within Divisions and the Draw will be completed following receipt of Pennant side nominations from all clubs in late August 2023.

Any side that has earned promotion from Wednesday Division 4 (12-a-side Division) to Division 3 (16-a-side Division) or Saturday Division 6 (12-a-side Division) to Division 5 (16-a- side Division) and does not wish to accept the promotion must make a request, in writing to the MBA Match and Program committee prior to 25 August 2023.

If there are any questions regarding the above changes or further clarification is required, please contact MBA Match & Program committee (MBAmatchcommittee@metrobowls.com.au)
