National Series 2011

If this is the case this is IMHO a bit restrictive, we ASBO are made up of Adam, Woody and Ste. (A,B & C)

Ste cannot play in Bristol so we will be force to take a sub so we will have (A, B & D)

After Bristol Woody is moving to Vancouver meaning that when ASBO play again the team will be made of (A, C, & E) and be unable to gain any points for this tournament or any future tournament

This is despite the fact that we will have 2 of the stable ASBO team playing in every game.

So we are left with a choice, make no claim on any points from Bristol and then be able to play future games as ASBO and gain points or play Bristol, take the points and be faced with the fact that ASBO may as well disband as we have no further abilty to earn points.

See my problem with this ruling...?

I think it was covered a couple of pages ago. Just after Edinburgh. I was reading about it on the bus though so wasn't to bothered.

Basically two players must play together in every tournament they want to collect points for. (Essentially, it's easier to understand it if you imagine teams to be made up of two players with a floating third). So:

A,B,C play together, you get points.
A,B,D play together, you get points.
E,B,C play together, you don't get points. (Unless you decide to make B and C your stable team members, in which case you don't get points for A,B, and D).
