Incorrect

You've got me Jake. I forgot about the "Jessie White" rule change that removed that provision coming into the 2023 season. However, the league did make the following statement when they explained this year's rule changes.

Only matches PLAYED will be considered for eligibility. Permit Committee has discretion to consider extenuating circumstances. I.e. Shortened seasons/forfeits/legitimate claims.

So i assume the "legitimate claims" clause is why this permit got approved despite only playing 2 games + 1 forfeit?

So they bring in a new rule with a clause that negates the original new rule.
Silly much?
