GM Proposal

There has been various discussions this season regarding the Red Lion. Some players feel that they have used the same team that finished 4th in division 2 last season and moved to division 8 and feel this is unfair. This is something that does happen from time to time. The committee would like to propose the following rule to counter these situations in the future.

A team can consist of a maximum of two players that have previously played in a division that is three divisions higher. A player is deemed to have played in a higher division if during their last four seasons in the league they have played at least ten frames and achieved a percentage of forty in a season. A player can play up to three league matches before this rule comes into play. If this rule is broken then the standard rule for playing an ineligible player will apply. Loss of all points in that match and a further one point deduction.

This is only the first draft and we are open to suggestions for amending this rule regarding the number of divisions, the number of players or the number of matches before the rule comes into effect.

A player can play a maximum of three league matches before this rule is applied.
