MIDLANDS MASTERS 2002 - feedback
- Thread starter blakey
- Start date
Rankings
Who decides whose Novice Am or Pro, well up until the Millenium series, it was left pretty much to the teams themselves.
There are a few unscrupulous teams around that when things aren't going their way, they cahnge the name, in a bid to con the Organisers, and in an attempt to plunder the true novice divisions.
We at the MM believe that the following should be used to evaluate a teams true status,
Novice - A team in the first year of competetive play, with no more than 1 or 2 experienced players, who in turn should not have played at higher than Am level.
Amateur - A team which has been on the circuit for more than a year, and that fields no more than 1 ex pro player - 5 man, 2 ex pro players 7 man.
Pro Teams - A team should be ranked as Pro when they have either A/ Consistantly beaten Pro ranked sides, Or once they have ammassed a certain amount of tourny victories in Open Class events.
What we would like to see is all Tourny organisers throughout the UK sending their results to a central point, say the UKPSF or PGI for instance, and they issue ranking points, for events based on the strength of the competition, amount of games, etc.
What do you guys think?
