roster lock question.

[Kevin]

can someone who knows more about this enlighten me please.

at campaign we are likely to have more players available than we need for our 1st team in Div 1.
Can we enter them in the M5 but be able to use them in the Div 1 squad at the later events ?

We were thinking of doing the same thing for Germany and I think the answer was pretty much No mate. try speaking to "Tricky" about it, he should know the full details.

just looked at the rules on the millennium website and it looks like we can,
you can enter sister teams as long as you let the millennium know they are before hand, then any player can move up to a higher division, even after the rosters are locked but no one can move from the higher team down.

Ah right, yeah that might have been the problem, i think a couple of the guys who played in Toulouse in Div 1 were going to be playing the M5, that might be why.

Cool, thanks for clearing that up Kev, I think its possible we might do that at Campaign too.

If the players registering for M5 are playing their first event, and the team is a sister team with the same named manager then yes , they are allowed to step up at a later date, indeed they can step up and then back down if they like.

However you cannot drop a player down from your div 1 team, if they were registered div 1 in their first event.

EDIT: Damn beaten to it.

Hmm - I may be wrong, and you guys should really ask Ulrich via mail - but I think M5 is outside the normal rules, and that you cannot have a sister team in that division and move players up from there.

I think those rules only apply to CPL, SPL and D7s

Anyway - I am in doubt about when the D7 rosters are locked - if ever - last year it was at the 3rd event - but who knows now, with SPL being locked at the 2nd one?

Theoretically, what would be to stop an SPL team entering an M5 sister team, and rostering its best players to the M5 team then letting them play the SPL spot, and if things went badly for them that season, they could just drop down and win M5? Would that kind of thing be possible? :S

Not really - to be honest, no top team would care about winning the M5 - no matter how badly it went for the first team

It is probably more a question of stopping TOO good teams from entering the M5, which is thought as an entry level division in International paintball.

it doesnt mention an exception in the rules for the M5,
though even if it is, if it is outside the normal rules would that mean that anyone can enter the M5. even if rostered to other teams in other divisions?
either it is part of it or not. if you see what i mean,

think i best email ulrich.

I spoke to Ulrich before Germany and he confirmed that M5 is covered by the same rules so does count as sister teams etc.
