Whichever option you go for could you consider the following:
- A 4 from 6 option as Foggy mentioned earlier as teams may progress but find themselves unable to play the following week so 4 scoring from 6 would help in some way, either that or allow players to be subbed in the latter rounds (e.g. I can"t make R1 for an East Mids team but JB does and then it R2 it"s the other way round so I take his place??)
- Half of the players will be eliminated in week 1. Is there an opportunity for a plate competition?
