Another question about the rule: Does the 10 "tour points" penalty mean the 10 points are deducted from the manager's total tour points, or from the points for the event in which the violation occurs?
In other words, if a manager plays 6 or 7 events, can he "drop" the penalty by dropping his score for the event in which the penalty is incurred, if that's his lowest score, or are the penalty points deducted from his tour total AFTER the low score is dropped...?
FWIW, a while back I counted about a dozen managers who had already violated the 200 IP rule, including several who might otherwise still have a shot at the final 12, so this rule could decide one or more of the finalists for the Champions League.
Also, it appears the standings on the "official" Tour page do not include these penalties, and also include "filler" scores for some managers...as well as some managers (including the one currently appearing in first place) who can't complete the minimum required 5 events.
Would be nice if the posted standings could be accurate and up to date, so everybody knows where they really stand coming down the stretch....
