Is there going to be a player pack for the am. divisions, and what could it contain?

[Ledgestone]

There will be a players pack - I will defer to Miles or Nancy on this but I know it will at least include a few items!

Did anyone else notice that the guys who finished first and second in recreational are rated over 900? I hope that was just a mistake.

No mistake....both were signed up before the ratings update and got a ratings bump. They are okay because of the two week rule.

It was a mistake. A mistake on my part to not look at their rating history. Are you allowing players to stay in the division in which they started for the duration of the series? I believe that is the TD's option.

I am not allowing points to be moved between divisions.

But I was not aware there was a rule regarding Series' that allowed the TD to supersede the ratings rules. Is that correct?

[pickax]

The competition manual has some provisions for allowing TDs of series events to let some players stay in a lower division. The series needs to get prior approval from the Tour Manager. There's a host of other requirements that need to be satisfied as well. I don't recommend going this route though. It tends to tick off more players than please the couple of players it might benefit.
