I honestly dont think there will be so much bitching. Players will only be accepted into the league if the organisers believe they will 100% carry out there obligations. They will enjoy it because they are playing people of similar standard, and irrespective of monies they still have to play towards promotion, relegation and seedings for the plate.

In addition 99% of the grief last year was people trying to get the smallest advantage for cash reasons. As the winner of Div 1 gets about a third of what he would have got last time you would hope the stab in the back ruthless mentality of last year will not be repeated.

From the lesser players point of view at least 4 new people in (Div 1) will be getting money they probably wouldn't have got last year.

Money is the root of most pool evil.
