Method for Transition from 2016 to 2017
To realign the current format to the proposed new format for 2017, it is proposed that the fairest way to do this is to use the final league positions in the coming 2016 league season as the basis for re-assignment.
In order to ensure that the teams competing in Division 2 have incentive for promotion to the new Division 1, it is proposed that a playoff will be held between 1
st & 2nd teams in Division 2 and the 11th & 12th teams in Division 1.
In order for teams to have an incentive competing in Div3 in 2016 for promotion to the new Div 2
it is proposed that a playoff will be held between 1
st
& 2
nd
teams in Division
3 and
the
15
th
&
16th
teams in Division
2.
Please note that Losers will go to Div 4.This method for realignment of the divisions for 2017 is shown in the next slide.Aldridge Cup, Keogh Cup and Dowling Cups will remain 21Slide22

Kildare Leagues 2017
Advantages of New Format
By making the divisions smaller, the new format will ensure meaningful & competitive matches right throughout the competition form the first to the last game. The concept of being safe or having nothing to play for should no longer be a factor.
This
in turn should improve the standard and competitiveness of football in Kildare, firstly in club football and a subsequent knock-on effect for county teams.Whilst reducing the league sizes the reduced number of games for each team has been kept to a minimum. As well as this, there should now be less congestion on the fixture schedule.Introduction of semi-finals and revised relegation format ensures that all teams will have something to play for until the last league game.
With the introduction of an extra division there is another trophy up for grabs with more teams competing for silverware.
With the introduction of Division 4 and subsequent Division 4A, it provides incentive for first teams not currently competing in Senior Football Leagues to compete and will aid their transition to the leagues.
NOTE
: One club has already requested to do so and is included in this proposal
