Yup that's right...new "unregistered" players can be signed up to a team 7 days before an event, which could change a team's line up & performance drastically...but as has already been pointed out...signing 3 pro players to your squad can in theory boost a lower division team's experience rating on paper, it doesn't necessarily mean those same 3 pro's will actually be able to turn out as most have international commitments throughout the season....Adding just one pro to a team doesn't actually have a huge influence on a teams overall rating, similarly just adding one new faced, virgin recruit also doesn't.
The transfer window for the league closes after the fourth event and re-opens again after the final round...allowing some movement for the PA Cup.
