It was announced in March 2016 that the 2017 season would feature only eight teams in Division One, meaning that only one team would be promoted from Division Two in the 2016 season, whilst two teams were relegated from Division One.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/35744204 County Championship: Only one promotion spot in Division Two this summer BBC Sport 7 March 2016 The season saw a significant change in playing regulations where instead of a mandatory coin toss to determine choice of batting or bowling first, the visiting team was allowed to choose to bowl first if they desired.Coin toss to be scrapped in County Championship cricket, BBC Sport, 26 November 2015. Retrieved 10 April 2016.No mandatory toss in the County Championship, CricInfo, 26 November 2015. Retrieved 10 April 2016. This change was introduced by the ECB cricket committee in November 2015 as a response to concerns raised about the standard of pitches, particularly in Division Two of the Championship. The initiative attempted to reduce the preparation of seamer friendly wickets which had seen matches completed quickly, made batting harder early in matches and generally gave an advantage to the team bowling first.Hopps D, Dobell G (2015)The toss debate: aiding spin v home advantage https://web.archive.org/web/20160411170522/http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/946069.html 11 April 2016 , CricInfo, 2 December 2015.

Retrieved 10 April 2016. Tougher penalties for poor pitches and the use of the new regulations just in Division Two of the Championship had been considered by the ECB, but the committee opted to implement the change across both divisions in 2016. On the opening day of the 2016 season, four captains opted to bowl first with the choice of batting or bowling being decided by a toss in just one match. Teams The 2016 Championship was divided into two divisions of nine teams each. Each county played every other team in their division twice with matches lasting four days - once at home and once away. At the end of the season one county was promoted from Division Two and two relegated from Division One in order to create a smaller Division One and a bigger Division Two in 2017.
