Millennium Rules comittee ???

[Buddha 3]

Nick, I commend you for taking the time to study the rules as carefully as you obviously have. It made me have a look as well, and it does seem there is a lot of 'grey' area. Well done for bringing this up. Let's hope this'll be clarified or rectified soon.

Regards,

Nick,

Other thing's I've noticed.

the minimum field size is given as an area - is that related to 7 man or 10 man fields - ie. is it sensible

Also - with seeding, they say there will be divisions of 11 teams. Now, after our lengthy conversations about the Chicago system there are no explicit divisions, each team has it's own independant schedule.

Is Marshall having radios on a 1 per field or each and every marshal basis?

There is no mention of how a 12 team semi will be decided (top team then first loser?)

I may have missed it but there couldn't see any rules about "guests" from higher ranked teams, either allowing it or not allowing it. Also, can Pro or Am players ever play in a team below their level if they forfeit thier previous status forever?

I didn't see the bit about hopper stickers - is it in there?

Jeez Guys Hats off for such a speedy response.

Its inevitable there are a few problems in the wording, particulary because its been written by a french bloke.

The rules committee will be coordinated by Jean Manuel Maries and Morten Jensen. ( He's got loads of techno stuff!!)

If you notice something wrong then please just email the secretary through the web site.

Nick,

Fields size,

That's sounds about OK, I just didn't know how that relates to a NNPL 10man field in case that was something they missed in the NPPL to Mill "conversion"

Divisions,

While that is how I thought I knew it worked, I just think the use of the word divisions is misleading as that implies that teams will be having the same schedule as the other 10 teams in their "division" and not accounting for Pro's playing Pro's etc etc. It is probably more a problem of translation but I would suggest that it it referred to as a team's "preliminary round schedule" or similar

Radios,

From memory radios where also in last years rules but also not enforced (GZ did themselves at Joy). I wondered how "enforced" iit would be last year.

Guesting.

I also thought that guesting was now by means of transfer only. It is not explicitly disallowed in the rules, I feel it should be. THe Rules are what isn't allowed, as well as what is.

12 Team Semi.

Again, I thought the 3 x 4 divisions were seeded that way but how are the top 4 chosen? Division winners and first loser on points? in the event of a tie (more likely with 3 games) what are the tiebreakers?
