Aging is not the same "matrix / table" concept as it is in MSWL - it's very straight-forward.

=========================
2 .3
AN AGE. Age SBY is a schoolboy (the youngest player) , Age APP an apprentice (one year older), then Age I
(one year older again), II,III,IV and so on until players retire. At the end of each season, each player will age one year, and
will lose skill levels (see below) equal to his new age. Youth players, however, do not lose levels on ageing.
=========================

Youth players are SBY and APP players. They lose 0 SL. All other players will lose SL equal to their age.

Its in the detail Rob!

Youth players are SBY and APP players. They lose 0 SL. All other players will lose SL equal to their age.

So I assume an age 1 player loses 1 level. age 2 loses 2 levels age 3 loses 3 levels & so on ?

The rule states that:

At the end of each season, each player will age one year, andwill lose skill levels (see below) equal to his new age. Youth players, however, do not lose levels on ageing.

This means that an Age I player (ie, Age 1) will become an Age II player (ie, Age 2) and lose 2 SL. An Age IV player (ie, Age 4) will become an Age V player (ie, Age 5) and loses 5 SL.

The rule states that:

At the end of each season, each player will age one year, andwill lose skill levels (see below) equal to his new age. Youth players, however, do not lose levels on ageing.

How's that? =)
