Regarding GA, Aspire and DPL
- Thread starter Bereal
- Start date
I think it depends on the club and if they can field all 3. For So cal reds current DPL will go to aspire . DPL open will take DPL slot. With tryouts to build up teams further currently on going .
I see Rangers is getting GA this year and not mentioning aspire and DPL , I guess because they dont have teams close to being ready.

To add looks like Rangers South has the DPL For Rangers.

Has anyone heard if the Promotion / relegation will be more formula based in the future - or still just on an annual application system?

Will be normal application I presume, the promotion/relegation system will not work for any of the leagues because of how the game days are. Club vs Club on game days currently and I dont see that changing. More work for the directors and higher ups on scheduling and fields.
I've said the same thing several times.
However it's not just the club vs club aspect. Coaches are one of the hardest things for clubs to find. Top coaches will usually have 2 maybe 3 teams. Pro/Rel if you do it team by team forces coaches to only have one team. If you do pro/rel by club meaning all ages at the same time clubs will just change leagues if they get relegated to maintain "elite" status. In the end pro/rel either makes things ridiculously complex and expensive (coaches can only have one team) for clubs. Or it creates a situation where clubs leave the league.
The only way to make pro/rel work would be if a single team represented a club in a league and if the league somehow forced all clubs to play in it. What I'm describing is Acadamies and a league administered by the government. Which is what happens in europe.
