what are people's thoughts on the 12 game rule?

Not a fan personally - I'm coaching women's Div 1 and our season ends 5 games after our first team's (Cap Prem) season ends. If I'm dropping down 3 players maximum why does there need to be a 12 game limit on it (FWIW its 9 games for women's Cap Prem - 66% of games)? Just means I have to be short on players for the last few games (love Uni holidays) cos all the 1st team players are tied. It also makes player eligibility inconsistent between the start and end of the season which makes no real sense to me - a couple of players who played games for me earlier in the season can't anymore.

I can see how it would be abused but I think limiting it to 3 mitigates the unfairness of it enough that the 12 game rule has no real effect but to trip people up and lose points - obviously I'm in a position where removing the rule would help me, I'm sure others like the rule as it stops me adding good players to my squad! Happy to be proven wrong.
