The SDA run a series of competitions called Grand Prixs throughout the season where all association members compete against each other to gain points which are collected on their progression through each competition. Once the final Grand Prix has being played, the top 8 players with the most points are selected to represent Shetland Intercounty "A" Team automatically, with the remaining 4 places and the 2 reserve places being given wild card selections (picked by Intercounty captain) in the annual Inter-county match against rivals Orkney which is held at the end of April.
A Shetland “B” Intercounty team will comprise of next 12 players in the Grand Prix rankings table that finish outside the automatic “A” team cut of. Any of these 12 players receiving and accepting a wild card or reserve invitation by the “A” team captain, will be ineligible for “B” Team selection and the next player in the rankings will be promoted to the B team. Should a player withdraw from the B team he will be replaced by the next player in the rankings table.
