Quote: FlexWheeler "We did licensing already. People got fed up and complained there were to many dead rubbers, so they got rid of it, and if we reintroduce it the same will happen.'"
Licensing, when done properly with specific minimum requirements in place, would actually make the league more equal in the long term and your 'dead rubbers' would become less frequent.
All P&R does is encourage mediocrity, as the majority of clubs just set a target of doing the bare minimum (staying up) and so begin to 'target' certain games to win, so creating those dead rubbers you mention further down the line.
