Yeah just seen that, thats changed. When the article first came out it said players could only play 1 event.

Where?
The last line used to say players can only play one event, now it says players can play more than one event
Got any proof of this?

Thought they changed the rule this year because the change in qualifying meant associates had to go through the Riley’s route and they didn’t want they going up and down the country entering every qualifier they could.

Doesn’t really matter as it says they can enter more than one now

That was my take on it as well Zapp. Definitely read that originally the limit was on entering 1 qualifier.

Why did that last message get deleted? It's a quote from Bottom.

I have ran the Coventry qualifier from year one and there has never been a rule in place saying that you can only enter 1 qualifier

In defence of Brett, I definitely read somewhere that 1 qualifier only was being mooted. Will try and find it later.

IIRC they have been entering multiple events for at least a couple of years already. Maybe always. Lads from round here always did Chester, Liverpool and Wolves in my memory.
