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.

No it's not in my rule post and it's not a rule, it's something we discussed to put in my rule post but as you'll see halfway up this page I said that we're fine with dragging the 3 week rule.

No it's not in my post because again it's not a rule, we're not putting players out in order of league. This is something ChadMann and I discussed but figured player rotation would be good enough, and most people would be using their highest level player for the ace match regardless. I like the "not the same aces 2 weeks in a row" thing I can see it working.

What? I'm sorry man forgive me but I read this paragraph through a couple times and I don't understand it so you'll have to help me with this one. Sorry I think I'm over tired or something.

The reasoning behind the 3 week rule was so that teams don't have THIS situation;

Week 1	Week 2
Player A	Player A
Player B	Player B
Player C	Player C
Player D->F	Player F->D
Player E	Player E

Without that rule, it's technically OK for teams to rotate the same player out a week, and replacing him with another player then putting that player back again over and over and over. We are going to drag the 3 week rule, but PLEASE don't do this. We want to see a good healthy rotation in every team, give everyone a week off at least once, give everyone in your team a go I'm sure you want them ALL to improve not just a handful. Even small teams should be able to do this (Example: Don't sub D for F every week, sub A for D instead and B next week or something).
