BRL player points system for the 2013 season
AFTER a meeting this week six of the BRL clubs voted in favour of reducing the total number of player points a team can field in each game.
Each player is given a points rating and in 2013 the maximum points will be 70 - down from 90.
BRL chairman Mike Ireland said the decrease in points will ensure the future of the competition.
"The main aim was to have a good even competition," he told Bundaberg's News Mail.
"Hopefully it will give clubs the incentive to bring their under-16 and U18 players up into A-grade because those players aren't worth as many points."
