Club Championship

The Club Championship goes to the team with highest points from first grade and U-20's competitions (with points modifiers). In previous editions it has included the U-18's premiership also and used as a tool for promotion/relegation. Currently, the Club Championship is calculated from first grade premiership points x4 and under 20's premiership points x2 and promotion/relegation is determined by first grade premiership standings.[2]
