At last season's AGM Jonathan suggested that teams returned to six players.
It was reduced to five because, among other reasons, it meant teams could come in one car. It is difficult for some clubs to get drivers so having to find at least two was impossible for them. This would be even harder if clubs have multiple teams in the competition.
Also an odd number gives a team the chance to get overall win rather than a lot of draws so helps find overall winner on league points table.
Jonathan stated that 5 team members gives unfair white advantage to first named team. The arbiters stated that over the whole competition the colours evened out (Ask them I don't know techy stuff!)
I would ask all captains to discuss this with their club and give me a decision on the number of players they want in a team next year. I will collate these and present at AGM this year for deliberation.
All captains should have my contact details so please email, phone or text me me by 20th April.
Thank you
