Isnt it unfair to change the validity period for those players who will have sat out two years and were expecting to get re-rated in 2003?
National recognizes the basic fairness issues involved. For that reason, a waiver of Rule 3.01D has been granted nationwide, that requires all sections to start the 2003 league year by looking back only two years (to 2001 and 2002) for computer ratings. All players with ratings prior to 2001 will be allowed to self-rate to enter the 2003 league year. One additional year will be added each Championship year until the 5-year history required by the rule is available in all sections.
