With the creation of League X, it is probable that, at the end of this year’s Series, we will consolidate the ability leagues down from 5 to 4 for 2017. You need therefore to carefully watch the Main Table for, were the decision to be to go down to 4 ‘ability’ leagues, then your position in it, as well your standing in your ability league, will be an important determinant as to your league in 2017. (see the July newsletter for how next year’s leagues might look)
