| Dec. 3, 2018 cop298 26 posts | rules question im a reading it wrong under ranking guidelines... a major plus player can only play on a major or major plus team in the same age group... so a 55 major plus player can not play on a 50 major team |
| Dec. 3, 2018 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | cop298 ... I presume you are talking about the Rules Committee's attempt to clarify (below) what happens when a player is playing across two age groups ... The prior Rule Book content was confusing, to say the least ... While it IS true a major plus player can only play on a major plus or major team in the same age group, a 55 major plus player CAN play on a 50 major team, or even a 40-AAA team since they have an "equivalent" rating index of R/I=8 ... That player would also be eligible to play DOWN one equivalent rating index as one of the three allowed out-of-rating players ... Please also see the "Team Rating Index Chart" available from the Rules page of this website ... Hope this helps! ... __________ §4.2(6)B. • PLAYING IN TWO AGE DIVISIONS – Section was amended for clarity to read: B. A player can only play on a team in the same or equivalent skill level when playing in two age divisions |

| Dec. 3, 2018 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | Bruce ... I made the same initial mistake ... This "Q" is by COP298 and not COOP3636 ... I need to pay closer attention! ... |
| Dec. 4, 2018 coop3636 514 posts | Hey Bruce No that wasn't me, but according to the chart, you are legal to play with us. (just because you are so OLD..lol) Looking forward to the 2019 season. Brett coop3636 (not cop298) |
| Dec. 4, 2018 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Dave, wow, only the first two characters are alike! I too should slow down. |
| Dec. 4, 2018 Gavin5 Men's 70 30 posts | So Dave, in your rules example-- "A player on a 55-Major division team cannot play on a 50-AA division team". Isn't a 55 Major player only one rating index higher than 50AA. Can't he be one of the three out-of-rating players allowed? |
| Dec. 4, 2018 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | Gavin5 ... A player may play down ONE equivalent rating level if he is otherwise eligible as to residency AND does not cause the team to exceed the maximum three "out of rating" players roster limit ... Please download the reference chart and it's really a pretty simple concept to grasp .. Thanks! |
