Yeah basically. Their fate hangs in the balance of their respective A-grade teams.

Ha! This is an another great summer joke from GBL. I just remenber the word from the major A grade coach of my old club: 5 years ago, when I was playing for one of GB3 major B grade team, one of the day I hit 2 bombs in a game. And the coach said to me "B grade doesn't count!"... So B grade games til 1/11 don't count as a competition...Ridiculous!!!

Why not just carry your points forward? I know there is some disparity in games played but that is just luck of the draw.

Because you'll get even more complaints.
I assume next year a promotion/relegation system will come into effect and therefore these games won't ever need to be played again by B-Grade

That is to say, it's an improvement on last year where we ended up only playing something like 13 or 14 games.

in other sports, B grade is treated as competition in it's own right, as well as a training ground (and maturing area) for A grade to make your A grade players more "honest" and accountable.
B grade could be weak in majors and strong in pacific, so promotion/relegation is irrelevant (as per other sports). I would rather have a strong B grade as I would then have a talented pool to draw from for A grade but this does not seem to be the go for baseball (where you get "locked in" to a team at the start of the season and only move up/down where there is injury/vacancy).
