Ok so in the Millennium we had Pro, Amateur and Novice with a hella number of sand baggers ;)

NPPL had Pro, Am A and Am b and novice...

So NPPL go to Pro, Amateur, Novice and Rookie, and we go to Pro, Am A, Am B and Novice?

lmao. Would be nice to get in sink with our brethren across the pond.

Am B is a sucky definition for a division. I thought Novice and then rookie for real beginners was a better call. With players only allowed to be in rookie if they haven't played a years events or more than two events. Novice should be a big division, Rookie should be small.

Let's get the friggin ID cards up and running and working and benefiting the players and sport. Last years reasons for having them made it just look like a money making exercise :( Team captains should have to present them to the chrono judges to get all the players allowed onto the field... Then all of a sudden we have a way of controlling discipline and issues and cheats etc...

But even better divisions would be....

Div 1, Div 2, Div 3, Div 4 with prizes and benefits designed to make people want to move up always...

Anyone else care?

Throw in Will Young, and whoever thought up 'reality tv' (Big Brother, Tempation Island, etc, etc) and you have the makings of some real fun.

I agree that we need to get away from the "pro" "am" aspect, rather different divisions & it will work better.
ID cards are a must (and they should be issued on the spot) (Smile for the camera, pay your registration fee, take your pass, NEXT!!)

You're right, Manike,

About the names, the sandbagging, the need for consistency among the big leagues, the need for better check-systems and the usefulness of player's cards to track everything. I have suggested to nay-sayer Raehl that player's cards would be a way to get track the "3-strikes-you're-out" rule.

What would it take to get the leagues sitting down to coordinate the rules, standards and procedures? Would pressure or influence from the major sponsors help? Reason alone doesn't seem to do the trick because I know it has been tried before.

No I think we shuld force n-sync and the back street boys into a gladiator style death match and feed the winners to lions :)

and really the presidents of all these organizations need to get together an make up a unaversal system.
