[cormick]

Is anyone suprised that Beaver changed it from "5 players" to simply "players" who won't be there...?

 

[beaver fever]

Is anyone suprised that Beaver changed it from "5 players" to simply "players" who won't be there...?

Well what is the point of limiting it to 5?

 

[JSFish]

Why did you leave '5 players who will have an impact on the competition' at 5 then?

 

[beaver fever]

That has a good reason for limiting it to 5.

 

[JSFish]

That's such a cop-out answer Beave. There is no more reason for limiting that to 5 than limiting delistings to 5. I beat you. **** up.
