That's pretty much the long and short of it . . Be it Phil or Miller that goes into Division Two, they will be favourites to win it but at the same time we done the best we could with the entries we received . .

We'd rather there be this slight unbalance than cherry pick entries, turn people away and run the risk of having to do a u-turn nearer the start date . .

In SPPL it's exactly the same . . I am in the 2nd Division now having won the 1st Division a couple of years ago . . I left the league and when I rejoined there were already sufficient entries for a strong 1st Division and therefore I was put in the 2nd . . I'm a strong favourite to win it and it can be seen to be unfair on those in the same division but at the same time they can't turn my entry away, adjust the number in each division or kick someone out of Division One who is there be rights, just to accommodate me . .

We've decided division status as best as we can given the entries we've received and the resources available to us . . This won't be the last CSL so once the rules have settled and the league expanded, players will find their appropriate playing level . . It's just a matter of time . .
