The Tipperary County Board will add a bylaw to determine what happens should a county champion already have a team in the next highest grade.
This motion stemmed from an issue which arose in 2023 when Thurles Sarsfields reached the Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship Final where if they had beaten Lorrha in that game, there would have been huge confusion as they already had a team at Dan Breen level.
Their defeat by Lorrha avoided a scenario of what happens next with the CCC now addressing that possibility.
Therefore, should a club win a championship but already have a team at the next level, the first option is for the teams to go up and have two teams at the next grade.
If the club doesn’t wish to do that, the team relegated from the higher level can remain at that level.
However, if the relegated team still wishes to drop a grade, the next option is for the defeated finalist at the lower grade to be promoted to the next level.
If that club opts not to take up that option, then the winning county finalist will be forced to move to the higher grade and have two teams in that grade.
