23 Aug 2008 02:34:00 GMT

As mentioned in the latest newsletter, these are the notable updates to the Rules and Regulations for the 2008-09 season.

Definitions clarified for three different types of defaults: meet, team contest, and individual match (Section V.3). Specified more clearly how defaults impact a division's officially recognized size (Section V.4).
Modified Championships wildcard invitation criteria to encourage divisions to have more League meets: divisions in which all teams play each other 3 or more times have a wildcard advantage after 8+ team divisions (Section VI).
Addition of $25 refundable deposit to League membership fees to discourage defaults; teams without any defaults get the deposit back at the end of the season (Section I.4).

The complete set of Rules and Regulations for the upcoming season is available in the Documents section of the NCTTA website.
