Assuming no withdrawals that makes Division One
chess.com Manx Liberty
Wood Green
Cheddleton
The Sharks 1
Chessable White Rose 1
Celtic Tigers 1
Wood Green Youth
Cambridge University 1
Gonzaga
Guildford Young Guns
West is Best 1
Presumably Wood Green and Wood Green Youth would have to form separate squads.
Division Two
Chessable White Rose 2
Barnet Knights A
KJCA Kings
The ADs
Barbican 4NCL
Alba
Sussex Martlets 1
North East England
Oxford 1
plus
Spirit of Atticus from 3N
The Rookies from 3C
Schach Attack from 3S
Teams relegated to one of the Division 3's
The Sharks 2
Guildford Castles
Anglian Avengers
Warwickshire Select 1
Manchester Manticores 1
Kings Head
Check Inn
It remains to be announced how the remaining 17 slots in the Division 3's will be allocated.
My understanding is the same as yours regarding Wood Green teams.
Blackthorne are the missing team from your Division One line up.

A massive thank-you to the 4NCL for another excellent season. It obviously wasn't without it's issues, both from Covid and the Swiss System, but overall it was just nice to be playing serious chess and seeing everyone again.
There is no other event that brings so many people together in British Chess, and I'm already looking forward to the new season - and a return to an APA Division 1!

Great performance from Shirov. He seemed to be a class apart.

I don't recall seeing it stated but when the league was previously a 12 team all-play-all it was three teams (at least in the seasons I just checked and that was my recollection too). 3 out of 12 is also the same % as 4 out of 16 so that is my uneducated guess.

Makes sense, thanks.

With parallel divisions, each of twelve teams, an even number of promoted teams makes more sense.

The original Future Plans document said 3 up 3 down
Bit more complicated with relegation from Div 2 as the proposed number of Div 3s has changed
