Vincent’s Raleigh, a B division team has dropped to the C1 division after a 12-5 loss to B division team the Back Nine Pub. Aside from letting B players drop down, which was an issue addressed in this years captain’s meeting, it remains to be seen how a team with 6 players(according to 9/19/07 PointStreak Roster) will be allowed to play after League Commissioner Doug Scott was so adamant about a minimum 14 player team(Also raised during the captains meeting). According to the Captains meeting on 9/12/07 where Doug Scott stated, previous summer league division status will determine what division your allowed to play in. This rule was put into effect to keep players from a higher league playing in a lower league and dominating players with a lower skillset. Point Streak confirms http://www.pointstreak.com/players/players-team-roster.html?teamid=84214) all of the Vincent’s Raleigh players were B Division players in the summer 2007 league. We’ll have to wait and see once roster’s are finalized whether or not the rules have changed or whether the almighty dollar has won out. Additionally the C1 team the Badgers may be on the bubble with only 13 players as well.

To be sure it be an interesting time.( Sept 19th is International Talk like a Pirate Day http://www.talklikeapirate.com )

Updated: Doug Scott says:
“The rosters changes can be made up to the start of the 4th game. We want all teams to have 14 players on their rosters, but this is not a rule. The main rule is that we will not except subs unless they are on your roster, so a player must be on your roster to play no exceptions. Vincents lost 4 or 5 players and felt they could play in the B-League.”
