Alignment

The draft alignments will be posted after registration closes.

Over 30 Classics Major Format - please contact the office prior to the team registration deadline if you will be declaring as an O30CM team for Outdoor 2026.

• The alignment is based on a promotion/relegation system. Existing CWSA teams will be placed in a division based on the final standings from the Outdoor 2025 season.

• New teams joining the CWSA will be placed at a division level deemed most appropriate by the CWSA, in consultation with the team and subject to space availability. Where possible, teams will be placed at a competitive level that aligns with their skill and experience.
• In the event of a vacancy due to the withdrawal of an established team, the CWSA will first offer the vacancy to the next placed team from the previous season in the next lowest division. If the next placed team declines to move up, the CWSA may fill the vacancy with:
  • a. Another team from the same or lower division, or
  • b. A new team requesting higher placement at the time of registration

• check out the CWSA Archive for past season final standings.
