Grading

Each year, WABL Associations enter their teams into the WABL Grading Tournament for qualification into relevant WABL Pools. This is perhaps the most important process on the WABL calendar, as it sets each team up in their respective pools for the remainder of the year.

The WABL Grading process is designed to allow teams to play more teams of similar capabilities in order to allocate them with more certainty. Below are tentative weekends for the 2022 WABL Grading tournament:
