1. A new name for the leagues
From this season, all leagues named under Division 1 (formerly Premiership), Division 2 (formerly Championship) and Division 3 (formerly Conference).
This is to prevent any confusion to the players to which league is on-going etc.
![Page 18: Division 2 team managers meeting 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568163f8550346895dd58eb5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. Eastern and Western Conference for SFL2013 Division 2
SFA is looking into connecting teams into their constituency. Example Eastern Conference Team Skools Innebandy perhaps with Tampines constituency etc.
So teams will work to sell their club into their local constituency which will create local support from constituency club.
Support from the constituency could come in the form of free usage of their court venue or even sponsorship deals.
![Page 19: Division 2 team managers meeting 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568163f8550346895dd58eb5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
2. Eastern and Western Conference
SFA are looking to provide 2 venue for SFL2013 so that teams can play home and away games. The likely venues would be for Republic Polytechnic (Western Conference) and Yio Chu Kang (Eastern Conference)
This will be of more convenience to players as they would not need to travel far to the competition venues.

Hence SFA has decided to introduced this new Venue Official who will be given the authority to throw out unruly or uncooperative supports/players.
![Page 21: Division 2 team managers meeting 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568163f8550346895dd58eb5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Refereeing for consecutive matches
For this season, referees will not be refereeing consecutive matches as compared to last season.
For example: Referee will ref the 1st match of the day, rest for the 2nd and will only ref the 3rd match.
During the rest, referees will be observing other matches that they are not involved.
This will allow referees to have adequate rest in between and not be tired out from refereeing consecutive matches.
