What if no one else is free 2 weeks in a row but the same 5? Would this mean we would use our wildcard for that week, as we'd need to name someone else who wouldn't be coming?

And I assume we only count it by the 5 people who actually played.

IE If I named A,B,C,D and E to play, but F had to wildcard for E, would it be valid to let A,B,C,D and E play next week?

ermmm.. If you name five players one week.. only four of the same five can play the next week.. and players cannot play 3 weeks in a row, of course we will make considerations for small teams, if they contact us. But if it is obvious that the same five players play each week then a 1 match walk over will be given, if a replacement player can no be used, you won't have to use a wildcard, just you cannot use the same 5. If you have no option but to use the same 5 players, and there is a significant reason, contact Maynarde or I and we will work it out.... if not, 1 player of your 5 will not be permitted to earn points for their match (they can still play the match for the fun and experience though). but the Points will be Auto awarded to the other team.

If this rule becomes difficult for some teams, either use a sub and add an active player into your roster. If you've used all your subs, Maynarde and I can reconsider this rule.. if it becomes and issue. The objective of these rules was to make teams rotate their roster and not use an all star line up every week, to give everyone a chance of playing.

this is not in maynarde's rule post...

i don't like it, makes rostering players very complicated. the 'change one player per week' rule also makes things complicated but isn't going to potentially lead to a situation that 4 out of 7 active players are ineligible to play on a certain week.

if you are going to enforce a 'not the same ace 2 weeks in a row' then please remove the 'players must be registered in order of league' rule (that also isn't in maynarde's post). a team with only 1 player in plat (or 1 player in gold if no plats) would be forced to sit out their best (ranked) player every second week with these rules combined...

the new rule 3 also makes little sense, if it wasn't there and a team wanted to abuse the wildcard system somehow then they would have just named the better player in the first place i feel?

The rules are being revised due to the response from everyone here.. However, we will not be removing the league order ruling.

To aid in the new revised rules, please provide constructive feedback and suggestions as to how we can permit small teams to perform unhindered, while forcing changes in the roster.

At this stage, I think, either: 2 changes enforced per week.. that is all play the same Ace every week if you want. OR 1 change per week, not the same ace per week. this means, you need 6 players two of which have the ability to ace for your team.

If anyone has a constructive idea on how we can promote team rotation, then please post.
