Because that button was not pressed on the LMS when setting up.

See come the 1st on the rating system. All the captains will be rearranging teams by grade order then!

Note like the Huddersfield league, you play in grade order as of the start of the month. I think there is a 50 point leeway in the Calderdale league. There are some noisy venues, like Honley and Hebden Bridge. Huddersfield suffered for an hour of church bell ringing last Monday, which does not help..

and

which might help to answer the original question.

BTW, its rated not graded...
