Thought I'd start a new thread for the Pro League for 2022. Their website has been updated with a calendar. Although I'd imagine there is a chance it will change during the year. Currently 7 qualifying weeks and a finals week. Down from 9 and the finals in 2021. 2020 had 5 and the classic week. Week 1 16-...

These changes include age restrictions introduced and reductions to the bonus awards. As I read it, some bonuses have sizeable reductions: an eligib...
