The 2013 Championship 1, known as the Kingstone Press Championship 1 for sponsorship reasons, will be a semi-professional rugby league football competition played in England and Wales, the third tier of the sport in the country. The 2013 season will see three new teams enter the division alongside the six remaining teams that were not promoted during the 2012 season. Coventry, who had been considered for entry into the division for 2013, will enter the division in 2014. This means that the 2013 Championship 1 season will consist of 9 teams. The promotion/relegation positions and the play-off format also revert to the normal formats, following the change for the 2012 season to allow the top four teams to be promoted to the Rugby Football League Championship and the champions of the division to be decided by a six-team play-off.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thunderrugby.com/article.php?id=7142 )〕 This will mean two teams relegated from the 2013 RFL Championship and two teams promoted from Championship 1, which will be the team who finishes top of the league and winner of the play-offs. There is no relegation from this league as it is the lowest tier of professional rugby league. All of the teams will competed in the 2013 Challenge Cup and the 2013 National League Cup. == 2013 structure== The competition features the six teams that did not win promotion in 2012. They are Gateshead Thunder, London Skolars, North Wales Crusaders, Oldham Roughyeds, Rochdale Hornets and South Wales Scorpions. The four teams who were promoted, Barrow Raiders, Doncaster RLFC, Whitehaven RLFC and Workington Town are replaced by three new teams, which are Hemel Stags,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.therfl.co.uk/news/article/24438/hemel-join-rugby-league-championship )〕 Oxford RLFC and University of Gloucestershire All Golds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.therfl.co.uk/news/article/25053/all-golds-to-join-championship )〕 A fourth team had been originally planned for entry for the 2013 to be the tenth team of the division. Northampton Rebels had been the original first team chosen in December 2011 to enter the division for 2013 but withdrew on 26 August 2012, due to Northampton Town FC (who were setting up and running the team) not wanting to launch a team that they thought had no chance of success. Coventry Bears, who was part of the application process for entry to Championship 1, was chosen to be the tenth team in September 2012,〔 however the club will enter in 2014, to be given more time to prepare for entry to a semi-professional competition. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2013 Championship 1」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
