There will be a Northern Playdown and a Southern Playdown in the province. The top X number of teams from each of the south and the north will then join for the Provincial Tournament. Where the Province will be divided has not yet been announced.

All teams in a division will have the right to attend their respective playdowns (you will declare your intent to attend the playdowns similar to what you do now for Provincials). Date and place of the playdowns will be determined by Ringette Alberta and communicated early in the season. The goal of this revision is to try to bring more equity into the level of competition at Provincials~ ultimately you want the best of the best participating at this level and under the current "zone" structure this does not always occur.

Potential Changes to League Play - Southern League 
With the implementation of changes to Provincials and the movement towards a uniform athlete assessment it was recognized that the value of playing strictly within your zone becomes less palatable. Currently we have teams that are having to travel to multiple tournaments to find meaningful competition.
We need to recognize that in order for our sport to grow we need to support one another, not just ourselves. If Associations across the province start to collapse, it won't matter if your Association is as strong as a horse if you have no one to play.   For more information click on RAB Memo on South league Play
