WXV Leadership Groups 2016

[Purple 77]

Hey all!

The season is fast approaching, and the leaders have emerged from what was no doubt a gruelling pre-season from your club. So who are they?!

As you may know or have forgotten, we have introduced a new rule called the "Leadership Group". To quote the rule book;

19. In the week leading up to the first round of the season, each team must nominate 5 players on their list to form their leadership group. The Captain, Vice-Captain and Co-Captain's you select on any given game, MUST come from this group.

     19a. During the mid-season bye (Representative Round), you are able to update your leadership group.

     19b. If a player in your leadership group suffers a long term injury, you are able to promote another player in their place. However, should that player recover, he will resume his place in the leadership group at the expense of his replacement.

     19c. Some leniency may be given under certain circumstances to allow for a captaincy selection outside of the leadership group. E.g. If all 5 members of a leadership have been seriously under-performing, and other players in your team have unexpectedly been scoring magnificently, you may be granted to choose a player outside of the leadership, but only in a co-captain capacity. All requests for leniency should be sent via PM to the Administrator, and they will have the final call.

^^19c is grey area, but what I'm trying to get at, is that if you think you have case, then by all means PM me, but any decision I make is final, even if maybe a similar case in the past had a different result.

I'm technically opening this thread a little early, but making this thread has been nagging at the back of my mind for some time now and I thought I'd rip the bandaid off.

So you can name your Leadership groups from now until all the way up to the opening bounce on Thursday the 24th of March. You can name as many drafts of your leadership group as you like without consequence until then, but as soon as the bounce starts, they're locked in until mid-year. The rules say Rep round, but that is like after Round 13, so for this year, we'll do it after Round 9 and before Round 10.

You have plenty of time to choose your Leadership Group, and I will be reminding you especially in the week leading up til Round 1 so don't stress too much.

Any questions? Please ask!  8)

Good question! Yes they'll be locked in for the rest of the year, unless one gets long-term injured, then you can promote someone to take their place.
