Association News
Team Gradings & P-Rated players
The SCC has reviewed both Team Gradings and P-Rated Player ratings. As a result of this:
- some P-Rated players have had their ratings adjusted. This has already been updated in the ratings list
- A team will be moved out of D-Reserve Grade (Hornsby District) and adding a team to D-Grade(Hornsby District).
The net effect of this will be:
- D-Grade will no longer have a BYE. Hornsby District will replace the BYE in the draw.
- D-Reserve Grade will now have a BYE for the remainder of the season. The BYE will replace Hornsby District in the draw.
These changes will take effect from Round 9 for D-Grade and Round 6 for D-Reserve Grade. i.e. this coming weekend (22/11).
The SCC will again look at Team Gradings and P-Rated Players ratings following Round 7.
