The realignment process was a bear this season, with difficult rearrangements to be done in a few tiers. I never base anything on sporting merit - realignment is done by pure geography. All realignments for the 2024-25 offseason:

Tier 4 to Tier 3:
Air Force BC - Southern Super League to Northern Premier League

A weird one because they were promoted, but then split from who would have been their local rivals to make up the numbers. There was really no other option unfortunately.

Tier 5:
BKK Kol - Southern League One to Mideast League One

Tier 6:
Tekulroyana City - Southern League Two to Mideast League Two

Tier 7:
Awoshu United - North to Northwest
- Fori United - Prairie to Central
- Foso City - North to Prairie
- Jesters ABC - Northeast to Mideast
- Olchashe BC - Mideast to North
- Shahichika BC - Mideast to North

Tier 8:
- Ronakolo BC - Mideast to North

Manager of the Year
Teshepo Riparchua

Every year I've covered this, it has gone to the manager of the championship team. Is there actually a voting process for this award?

Reliever of the Year
Ferufi Shonoro (18)
Teyumpu Riali (2)
Shiu Sherisupallu
Cheshore Matsef
Risei Shirae

Shonoro won the Second League version of the award last season, and now he can add this to the mantelpiece. I don't think I've even seen Sherisupallu's name before - he had a sub-2 ERA this year and won the Kepmem closer's job in September.

Pitcher of the Year
Tula Mitonone (10)
Tosolefi Loap (4)
Chasolo Latemohi (4)
Notsimi Feshasu (2)
Fekiu Wefo
Kafaki Kohopa
Pecho Tsytemoi
Sefti Merefife

Last year's vote was unanimous for Mitonone, but this was quite rightly much more close. Any of the top 5 could be argued as a winner pretty reasonably.

Most Valuable Player
Solo Sipet (16)
Fomo Tirma (4)
Rosana Pishot
Saruruso Rishisite
Peche Iyikio
Sashe Liposeli
Ilye Nofetso
Topeshe Tsaruo
Pumona Kakosuta
Oma Feputso
Lakiru Shufaho
Nukacholo Riseki


Tough to pick a winner as well, though I think I would also have voted for Sipet.
