Okay,
After discussion with the other tier Admin's, nirvAnA and a bit more of a chat with Maynarde - I think we have decided what we are going to do about the plat/diamond situation.
Diamonds - Diamonds will not be allowed to be subbed in to teams during the season. Master League promotions will not be allowed to play in tier 5.. Congrats on getting Masters if you do - but sorry, that is just too big a skill gap.
Max Plats rule - Due to the recent promotions from; Both QED teams, ZeroCraft, TA and TCP teams we have decided to increase the maximum amount of Platinum players to 3 per week (of these three, a max of 1 can be diamond).
Weekly Changes In response to these rules we are reducing the requirement of changing 2 players per week down to one. This is so teams with a few strong players, but perhaps not alot of depth, can field their 'A-team' against teams like, QED, TCP and TA - if they face them in concurrent weeks.
With this, I respectfully ask that team managers still try and give all their players a chance to play - if your versing a team on the bottom of the table with no plats - don't send out a killer line up.. let your lower league players get the chance to prove themselves.
If I have missed anything or not outlined something correctly, please comment - or offer constructive responses to develop this further (if needed). We will leave it as it is for week 6 - and review this rule after a week or two.
Thanks guys
