### 2017 National Premier Leagues WA

[edit]

The 2017 National Premier Leagues WA season was played over 26 rounds commencing in February 2017, followed by a Top 4 Finals series. A revised Relegation system for the bottom team will depend on whether the two Division 1 teams that meet NPL WA eligibility criteria finish in the top 4 of the league season. If either come first, the bottom team will be relegated, but if one comes second, third or fourth, then there will be a promotion/relegation playoff.[1]

But as neither came first, then Forrestfield as the highest of the two – that came either second, third or fourth – played a two-legged Promotion and relegation play-off against Mandurah City.
