Promotion from National One - confirmation for clubs
Distribution list: National One Clubs
In response to understandable concerns, among National One clubs about possible season outcomes as we near the half-way stage, we would like to confirm the process for promotion from National One to the Championship at the end of the 2021/22 season. The Championship will revert to a league of 12 clubs, and there are two possible scenarios:
• If the winner of the Championship meets the Minimum Standards Criteria and is promoted to the Premiership, this would leave 10 teams in the Championship and therefore the top two clubs from National One will be promoted to the Championship.
• If the winner of the Championship does not meet the Minimum Standards Criteria and therefore is not promoted to the Premiership, this would leave 11 teams in the Championship and therefore only the winner of National One will be promoted to the Championship.
There has been some speculation in the press as to London Scottish leaving the Championship and playing in Scottish leagues. There has been no formal application for this, and there are no plans for this to happen.
