There is no stipulation that the entire league must be finished before anyone can start on preplays, only that the preplayer can't be in an active league match AND be doing a preplay. However, doing preplays while other people are trying to finish up league is generally considered poor form and frowned upon, but it would be up to the SLO to deal with this situation if it arises.</div><div><br></div><div>I might suggest to the current Officers that Section 9 be amended to disallow all preplaying while any league match is going on - that seems a sensible thing to do and would solve this situation. Preplays should never take precedence over league play. Anyone found to be doing that would just have their game voided.</div><div><br></div><div> --- Dave</div></div><br><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">"Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about."</div>
