Season 20 of SESL will kick off late January with CECIL Cup play,
with League matches due to start 2-Feb-2008.
Main changes to rules for Season 20 will be posted on this forum thread here.

(all rules subject to change as season progresses)


Changes confirmed so far:

CECIL Cup qualifying round draw will now be random and NOT based on league table finish from previous season.

Rules under review:

- Physio Boost - was only used a couple of times last season.
Does it need to be cheaper, or offer double the EL boost?
Is -17EL a barrier to its use? Is -10EL a better threshold?
Robin at team AYR to consider a tweak to this current rule.

- End of Season Awards - as stated on another forum thread, these are too high and will be reduced.
David HAM boss working on a new set of awards.

It's rare that you'll be able to use Physio Boost in the first place.
I haven't got the rules to hand but I think injuries are -4, -8, -16 and -32 (with a -96 for a negative EL injury). If a player gets a -16 random injury then with the +4 at the end of the game means he's -12 at worst.

If it's a negative EL injury then he needs to be at -5 in the game, lose -16 and gain +4 to be able to use the physio boost. This isn't very likely.

So the physio boost will only be used for -32 and -96 injuries and can only be used once on the -32. Lets say he was at -2, injured to -34, gains +4 -> -30. Takes a +8 EL physio boost and also a +8 not playing gain -> -14. He'll miss 6 or 7 games in total even with the boost, and 8 or 9 without.

Physio Boost
I am going to go with -8 for season 20, and review at end of season 20.
The Physio Boost is given AFTER matches played, so injured player of -8 or worse is going to have to sit out 2 matches minimum anyway.
