I'm open to other suggestions or adding players/changing ratings , but I would like some kind of definitive list before the end of August.
Ratings are not intended to reflect players ability!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I've misspelt anyone's name, please correct me!

I have an excel file set up to score using the same method as Daily telegraph, so can we keep that scoring system?
I'll put a closing date for team entries for midnight Sunday, 5th September 2004 .
