Baca-btw it's Sue, ma is my sheep
Simple numbers, being simple minded, I think I can do that. Counting Rules guys who are also Pro reps there were 4 I believe out of 18. Total reps about 20-25.
Team cap 200 for US events
7 fields
Issues raised by players were addressed. One in particular, which was one of my big concerns, was the divisions for next year, and my concern in the disparity of current d1 players and pro players who had either not made the cut or had been playing nxl. After much discussion it looks likely that there will be 5 divisions in the US instead of 4 That being said if you want a shot at the Pro division in 06 you have to play the semi-pro/open or whatever they end up calling it. By implementing this it changed a lot of the things they already had in place, so I have to be careful not to give wrong infomation. But yes, they did listen.
Pro format-Pros must play a minimum of 7 events for the title. 4 games on Friday, Sat is for Pro v Pro only, all playing in afternoon only. Teams split into 2 groups each playing each other. Total point from Fri & Sat determine who moves on. Top 4 from each group. 1/4 finals will be split into 2 groups of 4, round robin, in a set of three format, 9 games. Top 2 move on. Then back to traditional format, with the exception of no more wins and losses, back to points.
Phew-keep in mind that some of this may change at the pro captain meeting, but that is how it was explained to us. Pros will also get their own paddock area, close to the fields they are playing on so they can turn all these games around quickly.
