How about abolished? Play where you vote ONLY, how hard can that be?

The Snow Bird Rule has had a minor change that affects ONLY the MAJOR PLUS and ONLY in the 50's, 55's and 60's age groups ... Those MAJOR PLUS teams are no longer allowed to have Snow Bird players on their rosters ... They are allowed ONE out of region player per team, with the player being required to reside on that team's East or West side of the Mississippi River ... The Snow Bird Rule for ALL other ages and divisions remains unchanged.

Agree with Dirty. Maybe if they stopped catering to the Major-plus teams, then you can start to have a legit upper division with some teams in it and you wouldn't have to force all these teams that will not be able to compete to move up. The snowbird rule is a joke, to much cheating goes on, get rid of it across the board!

Just NO need, and so easy to abuse.

For once I agree with Dirty: It gives the teams from Fl an unfair advantage over teams from other parts of the country.
