British XV's - 2015 Discussion Thread

I like option 1.

Last year was just exploited and created a bigger gap between bottom teams and top, as the top teams had a midfield premium as depth (and sub) and bottom teams had no one

Question: What happens if Waters retires tomorrow/this week? Do I get another rookie or something, or do I have to keep him all season?

[JBs-Hawks]

Do west coast get to draft someone new?

Just to clarify GL no sub is nominated so in effect any line can be used as sub as per 1. Probably did not clarify that part.

For information of all existing sub rule
Rule 7.5 Use of subs/
Name one of the 4 emergencies as a sub. If the sub has not been used as an emergency replacement and scores higher than the lowest scoring player on the field then the subs score is taken.  eg If Player x scores 45 and your nominated sub scores 80 then the subs score of 80 will replace Player X's score.  Player x's score will still count as lowest score for HGA Purposes,
Note a player nominated OOP can not be the nominated subs.

Disadvantage of current rule as I see it is sub can replace any position on the field whereas in 1 trying to restrict to line players,  Am happy either way if majority agree.

I'm in support of this rule.

I Waters retires prior to final list lodgement I will allow a pick from remaining players however if he retires after this date you will have to promote a rookie from your list and place Waters on the rookie list pending de-listing at seasons end.

So I get another pick then?

Looks like I have to use words of one syllables for you GL so here goes>

If Waters elects to retire before  9th March you will get a pick if after that date no pick.

Waters officially announced it today Ringo

[GoLions]

Cool.

[Spite]

Cool.

Just hold onto him in case he comes out of retirement and delist him at the end of the year if he doesn't, like what we did with Garlett last season.

[Ringo]

GL you need to decide whether keeping Waters or wanting a pick let me know.

On a more important note has any one heard anything from Sportal as to whether they are continuing the competition. They have not responded to any of my emails so just wondering if any one else has any info.

Nope heard nothing.
I went onto the site the other day but still nothing for this year.
Can't remember when it ended up opening last year.

Was very late LF got ulcers whether we were having a comp or not hence starting to worry this year, From Memopry was only a month before actual comp started.
