Revised format
The championship was redrawn to consist of four groups of three teams. The six teams that were drawn in the original format in each section group 1 and 2 were split into two further groups. The redrawn groups were decided based on 2019 championship results.
Section A
- The top team in each group in Section A to qualify for the championship semi-finals.
- The second team in each group in Section A qualify for the championship quarter-finals.
- The bottom team in each group to play in the relegation final for Group 2 in the 2021 championship.
Section B
- The top team in each group in Section B qualify for the championship quarter-finals (draw will be seeded).
- The bottom team in each group in Section B to play in the relegation final for the Premier Intermediate Championship in 2021.
- The top team in each group in Section B to qualify for the promotion final to Section A for the 2021 season.
- If a team from Section B wins the championship they will automatically be promoted to Section A for the 2021 season and no promotion final will be necessary.
