if I am allowed to change it can I have John Simpson instead please.

Not sure how this stands DC...

Please can a Mod adjudicate?

at the risk of sounding intolerant, is it not simply a case of checking your team before submitting it?

If it had been because of a situation like Stevens switching counties at the very last minute, fair enough, but Fuller signed for Hants way back in October last year. It surely isn't the job of the FL organiser to check everyone's teams for them, or accomodate people who don't check it for themselves

Is it me?

Am I become a grumpy old sod in my dotage?

perhaps I am

oh well.... nothing to do with me, so I'll withdraw gracefully

My long-standing competitions have in-built methods to deal with these 'inaccuracies' - I will endeavour to find one for this FL too...

Indeed it is in the first instance, and not in the second

Hopefully a happy medium has been found on this occasion, and - as mentioned above - I'll try to put a rule in place for future SWFLs...
