The board has laid out its plan in the hopes to reach a conclusion to the season.
If the lockdown ends as currently planned next Saturday, teams will be given one week to train before the finals series starts on September 4.
That would see the grand final played at Conolly Rugby Complex on September 18.
If the lockdown is extended another week the same top four structure remains but finals will be pushed back another week.
However Griffith and Tumut would miss out on their chance to play finals if restrictions are not lifted by September 12.
This is in order to complete the mandatory two-week training period after four weeks of restrictions, as prescribed by Rugby Australia.
Instead Wagga City and Waratahs will be given two weeks of training before the grand final is held on September 25.
Anything past that point there will be no conclusion to the season.
Southern Inland president Warwick Grant believes finals is a must for the title to be awarded.
"The general opinion of most of the clubs I've spoken to and the board was unanimous in their agreement that if he can't play finals then we won't award premiers," Grant said.
"Many the undefeated team has fallen over in the finals series so it is not a foregone conclusion."

Wagga City have not dropped a game over the past two seasons.
Grant hopes that by formulating a plan with a distinct end point it will give clubs the best chance to return to the field.
"It is hard to plan when people keep changing the goal posts," he said.
"We've given it as much chance as we can of getting a completion.
"We had to draw a line in the sand at some stage, as you just can't have it going on forever.
"You start running into other sports if we go too long, there's school holidays coming up for the juniors and with the October long weekend if we can't get completed by then that is when we say it is a non-event."
The board will respond to any future NSW Health directives and be as flexible as possible without prolonging the competition to a stage which makes further organisation of the competition untenable and impacts other events.
All decisions will require all relevant local government areas of the competition to return to playing conditions before competitions will resume.
While there is no guarantee of premiers being recorded this season, as all 18 rounds of the season were able to be concluded just minutes before the snap lockdown last Saturday the minor premierships will be awarded.
Wagga City have taken out the club championships while the Bill Castle and Alicia Lucas medals will be handed out.
They are typically announced on grand final day.
Wagga City president Daniel Ribot believes having a blueprint to returning to play offers hope and something for everyone to work towards.
He's also understanding of the decision to not any premiers if the grand final is not played.
"The logic behind that is just because you are the minor premiers it doesn't necessarily mean you will go on and be the premiers through a finals series," Ribot said.
"It is logical and obviously we're in a position where we would love it if it wasn't so.
"To be honest it is hard enough accepting the tag of the 'COVID Cup' so we wouldn't have to put silverware in the cabinet this year without playing the games.
"Even if they didn't make that decision we probably would have suggested they do something like that.
"I think it is good that they are making contingencies for every possible scenario.
"They are clearing the air."
Southern Inland have also detailed their plans for the junior finals, however with a broader base of clubs there may be further changes to their plan.
A two-week finals series is planned with the grand final to be on September 12 or 19 depending on when the lockdown ends.
Grant is hopeful the region's good record in terms of COVID will work in their favour.
Especially with deputy premier John Barilaro indicating decisions would be made for individual LGAs.
"For the seniors hopefully it is fine but for the juniors it could be a bit dicey as some of the northern clubs have their seniors in the Central West but their juniors are in Southern Inland," Grant said.
Grenfell, Cootamundra, Temora and West Wyalong are all part of the junior set up despite not having a presence in seniors.
