Given some of the issues that have arisen in the thread, would a solution not be that each team captain submits a list of their squad in current playing strength order to the Home Director/tournament organiser, who can circulate it around the other team captains?
If changes are felt to be needed during the season, due to, for example, a player's loss of form or to allow 2 players of equal strength to alternate boards, then a new list is submitted and circulated, with the new list taking effect in, say, 7 days time to give everyone a bit of notice as to the changes.
This would allow everyone to know what the current board order is, but also allows changes if they are felt necessary.
