Can a team be changed once you are scoring points?

[Gingerfinch]

Not if you've picked no players in the qualifiers, I presume?

Double negative there Ginger, does it mean yes or no. BFP has 2 Banga players I have one.

Oops. Ok. I would say you cannot change your side if you have players that have already played, but Eng no7 is the referee, and may allow changes?

[Durhamfootman]

I think the decision was that changes to the 'super 8' players could be made up to the toss of the first super 10 match, although I may have misunderstood that

it is a bit complicated, so I guess we'll have to see how it pans out. Adi has made a tactical decision to include 2 players from teams that he thinks will make the super 10's thus gaining him some points advantage by playing in more matches, which is fair enough and completely within the rules for this tournament, but a gamble nevertheless.

I'm very dim, and prefer things that are simple enough for my brain to retain, which is why I decided to stick with players from the teams that I think are the most likely to make it to the semi finals

[Durhamfootman]

Ah.... wait a minute.... I think I have misunderstood.... told you I was dim.

Option 1 it is. Pick 1 squad for the whole tournament.

Squads containing players from the preliminary round to be in before 16th, squads containing just players from the 8 Super10 teams to be in for the 21st.

So teams containing prelim players are already in, which suggests that they cannot now be changed

teams with no prelim players can still be changed

[Arthur Crabtree]

I understood it to mean that qualifying players could be picked up to the first qualifying match, and group players until the first group match.

Can't be, as some posters have only nominated their qualifying players with the others to come later.

[Durhamfootman]

I think I thought that, but looking at the wording, I no longer think that

[Durhamfootman]

Makes sense that, of course, because it becomes a trade off between getting in some early points, and being able to make last minute injury changes, or changes due to form in the warm up's, or indeed after simply having a look at team selections by the big 8 to see which players they are thinking about

I guess it would be unfair to be able to pick up early points AND make team changes after seeing which way the wind is blowing with the big 8 players in your team

[meninblue]

I know what the rule is, but if i try to frame the sentence, it will create more confusion

[hopeforthebest]

So what's the answer fellas, I'd like to consider changes as well. My own belief it's not allowed.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I don't see why, everyone had that option.
