Rule Change Proposal #5: Player ages and Youth Pull changes

- Players will have their age measured in years and weeks.

- All youth pulls will be aged 16y 0w. End of season youth pulls will now be roughly as valuable as early season ones

- The type of player you request will have an influence over the talents the player is allocated (eg pick a batsman and you are more likely to receive a player with batting related talents)

- The skill levels of the player you recruit will more closely reflect your request (ie if you request a bowler, he will be more likely to have a half decent bowling skill level)

- Increase the skill differential for pulled youths. Make it possible, for example, for a player to be pulled with one or more skills at reliable. The aim here is to try and increase the spread of player skills (ie we end up with a small number of truly elite players)

- For the purposes of U19 qualification, a player is deemed eligible for U19s if he is less than 20 years of age at the start of the season

Migration
- I assume this change would be implemented during EOS updates. For all existing players, their 'birthday' would be at the start of the season (which is effectively how it works now).

Why couldn't we ever implement this?

Dating things back, turns out I posted this Season 27. Ash says it'll be implemented at EOS. And that is pretty much when he disappeared. Oh how good the game was running at that stage :'(
