SCFA announces new Division/Conference structure for 2012 and 2013 seasons
The Southern California Football Association has announced a new conference and division structure that will be in place for the next two years, beginning with the upcoming fall 2012 season.
Over the past two seasons, the SCFA consisted of three divisions. In this new structure, the National and Central divisions have been combined and will form three seven-team conferences in the new National Division. The American Division will remain the same as the past two seasons, but with the addition of three teams formerly in the Central Division, will contain two eight-team conferences.
“Geographical considerations and maintaining competitive balance were key factors in the placement process,” said SCFA commissioner Jim Sartoris.
Four teams will qualify for the Southern California Playoffs. The playoff teams will consist of the champions of each National Division Conference with the next highest-ranked team in the final CCCAA/CCCFCA Southern California poll earning a berth. The champions of each American Division conference will also qualify for a division championship bowl game.
Schedules for the upcoming season should be developed by late February.
The new conferences for 2012-13 are:
| National Northern Conference |
National Central Conference |

American Mountain Conference |
American Pacific Conference |
