The changes come in with the coupon for Feb27
this is rather sooner than I expected!
Reminder - the new system is:
3   points for a jackpot draw (1-1)
2.5 points for other score draws (2-2, 3-3, 4-4, etc)
2 points for a no-score draw (0-0) or a void match
1.5 points for a home win or an away win

In addition, all 3 PPA member companies are going to pay an extra dividend:
1st  24   points
2nd  23.5 points
3rd  23   points
4th  22.5 points
5th  22   points
6th  21.5 points (not Zetters)
7th  21   points (not Zetters or Vernons)
Not sure what Brittens are doing - they may not even go over to the new 
system.

Further, Vernons are increasing their basic unit stake from 1/3p to 5/11p.
i.e. 33 lines will now cost 15p instead of 11p.

        Never believe an experiment until it is confirmed by theory
