- Bottom 2 sides from Gold relegated to Silver.
- Top 2 sides in Silver to playoff for the Region Sides Silver Title. Both Sides contesting the Silver Final promoted to Gold for the following year.
- Due to most regions having booked accommodation, the May dates and 3 day event schedule will remain.
2024 CHANGES
- Event to move to 2nd Saturday in January and reduce to 2 days – Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th of January
- Gold and Silver tiers remain
