I know there's a couple of Sunderland fans in the league (and maybe the odd Saint). My mate's away so I've got a spare Sports Bar ticket for the game on Sunday (ours are the best seats in the ground!). Anyone fancy it? First to reply.

We'll be promoting 3 from division 2 this season, and 4 from divs 3 & 4. This will increase the top 2 divisions to 9 players and keep 3 & 4 with 8, with a view to increasing them to 9 for season 10. There are 4 new applicants waiting to enter into Div 4.

I'm not claming to be fast, Rob, and that's one reason why this rule was proposed. I didn't want to have to vote on me losing points! Better if it's automatic, I thought. But hey, we live in a democracy and if most of you don't like it, we'll change or drop it. Don't forget, if there are two slow players in a division, they won't be affected unless one finishes 5 games before the other.

I'm glad we've generated a bit of a debate. Looking at the league as it stands, I can't see anyone being affected this season. The problem has been in the past, sometimes the league can get held up after everyone else is finished. I know people go at different speeds but this rule is pretty lenient. Definition of slowness, Xanthippes, in this case, is 'a lot slower than eveybody else in the division'.

i'd say that seems unfair, I have a couple of games against people who are moving slow, How do you know which of the players is slowing it down

If the only unfinished games in your group contain you, maybe your a bit on the slow side. :)
