Yes it has gone and the minimum number of players required to constitute an eligible team is now 3.
The proposal was amended to retain the maximum squad size at 12, rather than 10 as originally proposed.

Which brings me onto something else . . There were thirty secretaries there at the most last night in a league of 58 teams . . That's an absolute disgrace and maybe stricter rules or bigger penalties need to be introduced? Danny, there were 45 teams represented last night. |

I'm not sure I understood what was happening with the plate competitions.
Mark Halsey made a proposal which was passed to put everyone into the first round of the cup competitions and because Div One players were not allowed in the plate the draw would be seeded so that they would not meet in the first round. This was to ensure that one player (partnership or team) isn't automatically going to be out of both comps. Byes would then be entered into the second round of the main comp (and the first round of the plates) to even up the numbers and mean that there would be no byes in later rounds.
Later in the meeting a vote took place which allowed Division One players to enter the plate and the plate sponsorship was rescinded as a result.
What I want to know is does this mean that the first round of the knockouts now be an open draw or will the division one 'segregation' (for want of a better word!) still apply? |

Mark came out with a gobsmacking stat last night, which underlines the need for change, which thankfully got voted in.
50% of result cards across the board come in with "Picked Again" players.
So HALF the teams turning up on a tuesday are short of players!!!
This STILL wasn;t good enough for some, who as Danny said, just seem to argue for the sake of arguing.
Shame really.
The worst thing is, that there is this general consensus that we (division 1) are simply trying to get our way, but it is however the complete opposite. We care about the league as a whole. I've got friends in every division FFS!!!
When will some people see, we're not trying to rob you!!! We're trying to help you. . . .
If I said 50% cos I think I mentioned 30% then I think I was wrong but nevertheless I've done a comprehensive table of actual stats of short fielded teams and they are :-
Div TEAM TO DATE
3 FARLEY LOYALISTS 11 65%

No further BYES from thereonin. |

Thanks. Just wanted check as the proposals overlapped and I didn't think the issue was specifically raised. |

just a little concern if a team has 8 strong players just say for instense hotshots or eagles then they can play 8 players and 2 of them can play again wouldnt this cause arguments
this is just a point |

I think Mark's figures show why it was essential that this motion was passed.
I'm not surprised that we are one of the worst offenders. |

I think in a case like that, who ever performs best on the night gets to play again,
But that is my opinion.

Like with any sport with team selection, you respect the captains decision. That's why he's captain.
We have 8 strong players as it is currently, every single week we have to drop someone, but that's healthy, a little competition for places keeps everyone on thier toes. |
