    Updates to the Mixed League rules

    Hi.

    We agreed a couple of changes to the rules at the AGM, followed up by a working party to thrash out the details.

    The main one is that we're removing the order change rule which limited the nunber of order changes you could make in your team each week - but was overly restrictive and very hard to not get caught out. To compensate (and to ensure team fairness), we've tightened up the 'team order' rule which inists that players play in order, according to the level on the system, with 'only' 50% wiggle room. It used to be 100%.

    In a nutshell, you can play in any order as long as the player below you has a level less than 50% more than yours. So this is just OK:

    1. John - 2000
    2. Peter - 2999
    3. Kate - 1500
    4. Sam - 1200
    5. Jenny - 1799

    But this isn't:

    1. John - 2000
    2. Mike - 3000
    3. ...

    Of course, please play in the right order if you can but this is an example to show where the boundaries are.

    This doesn't apply between teams. There are other rules about how many players can move between teams so please check them out before the league starts. They haven't changed.

    We will also be enforcing the ES membership this year. Players who have played three league matches will be expected to be members of ES. This can only kick in at week three so you still have a few weeks to get it sorted! I'll send a separate message out about that.

    Please see the website rules page for the full rules. The updated rules are in italics.
