@EMM - dunno about the AGM, to be honest it's a minefield trying to get agreement on a day for maximal turnout. I could just do my dictator thing and name a day and people who can't make it can make sure thei opinions are known beforehand...
As far as injury problems go, bear in mind that this is going to be 10-15 games spread over 3 months or so, so there's time to recover from minor injuries. If it caused a problem and the league was dragging on we could use subs according to the A/B/C ranking. Also, the league wouldn't be over until all teams had played each other, so in the case of injury, your team may not play for a few weeks, but you'll have games in hand and have time to make that mega-comeback.
I agree - ABC ranking would be best.
**@hyper **I don't think it would be that difficult to organise, as it goes some way to taking account of varied attendance levels. Again, if it drags on too long, or is more difficult than I think, we can always use subs to get it finished. I'm not explaining it very well, but it's only 4-5 fixtures for each team, which should be achievable and not dominate throw-ins. I think 1-day tournaments won't work in Birmingham because we can't get everyone out at once. The 2-player format only resulted in 11 players IIRC, and it's very rare we get more than 10 on one day. Also, it would be an all-dayer, which would be challenging to organise and not many people can commit to that, it seems.
@punkture - thanks. If it goes ahead it will be much smaller/rubbisher than the London league, but everyone has to start somewhere... If it goes well, we could extend it it to Spring/Summer/Autumn leagues, too...
