I think this is a good idea. There's a lot that we all have to get "acclimated" to ourselves in this first season - let's not overload the learning curve.

I feel it is definately something that we should be looking at as a way of gaining Utility players, initially they play out of position and become a mf/fw or df/fw etc, it is really a question of how many games they should play in each area to become acclimatized.

Generally i would feel that around 8/10 games seems an adequate number to play oop to become dual qualified.

Losing two levels would seem fair and when a df for example becomes a df/mf he would then lose a further 2 levels in order to become a qualified forward?

Should qualification games be spread over 2 seasons?

Should apps and schoolboys be able to play oop - possibly not.

Alon and I have been looking at old rules and 6 games is the standard OOP number in order for players to dual qualify.

There needs to be more input though i feel from other players please?

6 games is what I was always used to.  Having said that though we play a few more games through the season than in those leagues. and therefore  I think 8 would be be fine.   I think a -2 across the board is a good penalty.
