Non-league football is preparing for an overhaul ahead of the 2004/05 season when the tiers below the Nationwide Conference are set to be restructured.
While the top division outside the football league will remain as it is, the second tier will be split on grounds of geography, north and south.
The North and South Second Divisions will consist of 22 clubs each.
They will comprise three relegated clubs from the Nationwide with the rest coming from the present pyramid system.
The Dr Martens Premier Division, Ryman Premier League and Unibond League Premier Division will see 12 clubs promoted this season.
While the champions of each division will win a berth in the Nationwide Conference, those clubs finishing from second to 13th will be promoted to Conference North/South.
They will be joined by a further five clubs coming through play-offs within those leagues.
BBC Sport outlines the potential ups and downs.
