Staying with 5 teams

Currently, the WP GM Status is as follows:

• 8 players are only available from Jan 2023
• 7 players are not able to commit to each game, and
• 6 players have pulled out (due to injury, emigration etc.).
• 7 new players since winter league 2022

Accordingly, we currently have only 73 players committed to the WP grand masters summer league 22 / 23. The outcome is that we are staying with the current 5 team structure. A few players will be shuffled around to balance the sides further and to accommodate the 6 new players that have joined us since Winter League. We will reassess the situation in late December.

Administration and player assignment

Thanks to those that put their hands up to assist with the admin. As a result, some of the admins will also change.

Deon will be managing the team lists from now on. Thanks to Gary for doing it the last few seasons.

Each admin will be sent a team list of the players in their team. The admin is responsible for getting availability from the team member for the games before Tuesday morning. A team list must be posted in the admin group, which Deon will use to determine if reserves need to be allocated. Any team that has a bye, the admins must notify Deon with a list of who is available as reserves. Those players will be assigned to a team before the players who advised us they are only available for some games.

Fixtures

The Fixtures until 2023. We will play on the B field at 18:30 and the A field at 19:30.
