Group 19 announced their men's competition will be all one grade in 2020.
Clubs have to nominate to play in Group 19 for next season before the final structure is set.
The competition will either be split into an east and west conference or, after the completion of early rounds, will be split into tiers.
Group 19 have confirmed if all current clubs re-enter for 2020, the system will likely see an Eastern and Western setup which will see Walcha fall into the eastern side and potentially play Uralla, Armidale Rams, Narwan Eels, Guyra Super Spuds, Glen Innes Magpies and Tenterfield Tigers.

Walcha's reluctance to play against A-grade teams saw them inquire about the Group 4 reserve grade competition at the competition's Annual General Meeting on Sunday.
If Walcha and Uralla join the Group 4 reserve grade structure, there will be 13 men's teams to play each other twice, meaning a potential 24 round competition.
Group 4 can't guarantee the league tag and men's teams will play on the same day at the same venue in 2020.
Walcha will meet next Tuesday, November 26 at the bowling club from 6pm to discuss the best way forward with players and supporters welcome to attend.
