Which Regional Team Can I Play For?
Fatcatstu:
Ok, so that might be why it ws reviewed, but IMO this is the reason it should be reviewed. If people get to pick, and the Luton team all lump into one team, then the whole thing is no further along than it was last season.
At the end of the day, this was brought in (i think, i am sure Rich or des will correct me otherwise) to ensure that the teams were fair, and that all the input into season 6 discussion thread was not for nothing. They have, infact, listened to the majority of people who posted, and acted on that.
There is always going to be people upset, thats unfortunate.

Also what i think is the most important thing it is the fairest and the easiest way to police it . Where ever your stars account is thats where you play for , seriously why argue , if you really feel that strongly about it re locate ;)

I don"t actually think it was badly explained as it was clearly stated they were regional teams. And we should be keen to retain those identities, as it would have been as easy to call Scotland "Region D" and Yorkshire "Region E", etc while retaining the geographical split. I"m sure there wouldn"t have been any issues had we named in that way.

Trouble is Des, pretty early on in the original thread you said this:

Choose one, once you"ve committed you are then tied to that Region for the season.

I didn"t see any great depth of feeling against this view, and people were already thinking about which region they might choose. Then it changed. Why? Where did the avalanche of feeling come from to make you change it?

A wee search of MintTrav"s latest posts might help you out, since he seems to be the main complainer. ::)

Az it happens I (on balance) agree with the "tie it to where you live" stance. But then I"m not being forced to change my allegiancies or to go against my nationality. I was very surprised when the original "pick your team" changed. If it"s all down to one person"s view I"d also be very surprised; Des doesn"t usually work like that. Regardless please don"t pick on John for having a strong opinion.
I wasn"t asking Des to name names, just explain why. The OP says:

some questions have been raised about this policy and for that reason we are now stating the following.
Players can only register for the Region within which they currently live.

So that suggests questions strong enough to change it. What are/were the defining factors?

Well I wanna know why England aint got a team?......this is blatantly unfair and I think if you are gonna have Scotland, Ireland and Wales as regions, then England should be one as well. That should even things up.

If you can call them by another name instead of Scotland, Ireland and Wales as to try to take away the National pride bit, then would that solve the problem? I.e. could Ireland be classed as "overseas" which would include Europe

That help?
Scotland in this instance is a REGION in a REGIONAL league. It"s possibly badly expalined at outset, but people need to think that way
