Now I am confused.
So I will just answer Gawain's questions.

The rules about replacing players came from last year when we only had 7 players on each team. We also only had 1 weekend of finals where we played the semi-finals on Saturday and the finals on Sunday. This year that has been split into the last two weekends of the season. So the old rule really doesn't work very well for us this season on two counts.
The rule in question is 1.1.1.1. Each team can replace one player with a replacement player one time during the season but they must have at least 4 rated OTDG rounds to compete in the finals.
I have a couple of problems with this rule:
1) If your team wants to play 8 players both rounds every week you would have to bring your replacement player in no later than Week 7. This is where the symmetry of the 4 singles and 2 dubs works against us. To do this and not forfeit any dubs matches you need all of your dubs players in the morning to play singles in the afternoon. That keeps one player from accruing the necessary 4 singles rounds before the finals unless they play 1 round of singles each week from week 7, 8, 9 & Semis.
(My original intent with this rule was to keep unrated players (ringers) from playing in just the finals. So I thought that 4 rounds in the last two weeks would be enough to establish a decent rating to make the competition fair for everybody. But with our new format you are forced to sit someone else on your team to get your new player 4 rated rounds in the last two weeks.)
2) I also did not address the scenario where the replacement player is a current PDGA member with a rating. Like most things in OTDG we give breaks to those who are current PDGA members with ratings.
So to address these two issues I made a change to the rules as follows:
1.1.1.1. Each team can replace one player with a replacement player one time during the season.
1.1.1.2. If they have no rating then they compete their first week with a rating of 1000 and thereafter their rating is the average of their OTDG rated rounds. They must also have at least 4 rated OTDG rounds to compete in the finals.
1.1.1.3. If they are a current PDGA member with a rating then they come into the league with that rating and thereafter their rating is the average of their OTDG rated rounds and their PDGA rating. They must also have at least 2 rated OTDG rounds to compete in the finals.

I have double checked the season point totals and there was a discrepancy with the Week 8 scores. (I fixed them for week 8, but didn't realize that I had to fix week 8 again in the Week 9 tab.
) I have since fixed the file and reposted it to the Yahoo group. The only errors were with the Sunday teams.
