Scenes at Izzo park. Either Suns really didnt want to go up or they got very tight around the neck. who knows
Did Cardiff City aka the semi final bottlers get up? Squadi isnt loading for me and uni havent posted anything. Any news lads?

Will be interesting in the coming years who comes out of this comp and is promoted. Suns I think will next year and if Croatia spend they will in the near future. NL1 in 4-5years will be like the best ZL1 clubs now plus a few from NL1 now. None will have juniors to be able to go to NPL and promotion to the top grade will happen every now and then like the old days.Quote:

Are they going up ?Quote:

Well done to Suns for figuring out how to stay in the comp, and next year this thread gets even more Croatia talk then before #samocroatia.
That may be true, however, currently those with the large junior base could look to enter these teams in PYL now.Quote:

Correct me if I am wrong gentlemen. However it looks as though a few clubs have strengthened there lower grades and pushed players down.
I won't name names but it is quite evident with recent results...
Fair play to them, let's hope they don't come unstuck with the ruling in place for this
Who are you referring to here? I'm curiousQuote:

I know there was talk of Uni playing first graders against the Suns in a midweek third grade fixture earlier in the season (which ironically ended up costing Suns a premiership). However Kicktheball has provided 3 poor examples here.Quote:

Elimination final is finally set
3rds Warners Bay v Kotara
reg Cardiff v Mayfield
1st Cardiff v Uni
Hope everyone has their player quals in order, no more dropping back a grade to sit on the bench, if you don't have the games, you can't play...this will cause some issues for some clubs.
Interesting! So the rules have changed?Quote:

It gets little more complex when you break down more scenarios that can arise.
Also, as 3rds in our comp don't really have starting 11 in squaddie, the whole 16 on the sheet count as 3rd grade, this will be cancelled out if you start a higher grade on that day.
This also applies to if you start or bench a lower grade, then start higher, the higher one is counted for the day.
There is no more being a 1st grader or Reserve grader and dropping down a grade to sit on the bench as previous years to play in the finals.
There is a section within Squaddie your club admin can look it up. If anyone needs to know how to access, PM me and i send how to do it.
To make it simple . The grade a Player has started the highest percentage of their Matches in is the lowest grade in which they are eligible to participate in the Final Series.
So if a player started 15 1st grade games but also started 12 reserves grade games then he is only eligible for 1st. If a player started in both equal than the lowest one counts.
The other rule is that players are only allowed to start in one Final per weekend regardless of what grades they are eligible for.
Taffy, need to drop the percentages, in squaddie you need to look at the started column, % is skewed towards games participated in, not games started.Quote:

ok So John plays 6 games in thirds, 9 games in ressies and 4 Games in 1sts. Can John sit on the bench for thirds? Or is a case of your primary grade is the lowest you can play in at all?Quote:
