Leeds celebrate 2012's Super League Grand Final triumph
The Super League will change from a 14-team competition to a 12-team one from 2015.
Reorganisation of the domestic game took another step forward when the 14 Super League clubs finally ruled out a proposal to go down to 10 at their annual meeting in Bradford.
It is thought only four clubs were in favour of keeping the option alive, with Huddersfield the only one to push strongly for it.
The clubs agreed last month to cut their number from 14 and ditch the current licensing system in favour of a restoration of regular promotion and relegation.
However, just two proposals remain up for debate after the meeting with the first being for two divisions of 12 with a straightforward system of promotion and relegation between the two.
The alternative is the option being pushed by the Rugby Football League which involves both Super League and a 12-team Championship being split after 23 rounds into three qualifying play-off groups of eight clubs.
Super League first rose from 12 clubs to 14, subject to a licensing system, from 2009 with 14 clubs granted three-year licences (2009 to 2011 and 2012-14), during which time they could not be relegated.
