**This starts at 11 am sharp! **Could even start earlier if we have 2 teams with all their players present.
I am currently looking at a 5 team round robin format (assuming that we would get at least 3 more peeps), which gives us 10 games. I did consider 55 minutes games with 5 minutes for switchovers which is achievable, but this would mean plenty of discipline from players to hang around the court and not go MIA and there will be no stoppage even when there is an injured player on court hence I think 45minute games are a bit more realistic. As it is RR , fixtures would be released beforehand so players can plan their meals etc.
Rule changes would no longer be trialed, kinda fucks up the reffing and might possibly make a fun tourney not so fun, NAH rules it is then.
Everybody loves a list but there are quite a number of London players who said they will make it but have yet to get their name on the list, so please do put yourself on the list if you wanna play. This would enable team captains to run through the list and plan their picks. Captains would be self nominated.
Draft would be made on that day or maybe a draft spread throughout a few days (Captain A makes his first pick at 8pm Monday, Captain B makes his first pick at 11pm Monday, Captain C makes his first pick on 8 am Tuesday... repeat till list ends) if the list of players can be firmed up by the end of this week?
Notwithstanding the draft format, late comers who show up on that day would not be allowed to be drafted in, if you have an engagement that you could not avoid but want to play later/earlier in the day then please make this fact known so captains could make a better decision when they draft.
