Committee Minutes Highlights

Complaint received from Cowplain Lost Boys:

A complaint has been received from Cowplain Lost Boys in their match versus Hampshire Rose Roasties regarding Bad Sportsmanship for an individual within the team. The individuals’ name was not mentioned but has since been notified to the committee. No action is taken this time except to remind the Hampshire Rose Roasties that the activities mentioned will not be tolerated and the captain is to remind the team of this. Any subsequent complaint will be treated as a second offence which also carries a fine of £10. A Third offence from the same player will result in the player being removed from the league or in the worst case scenario the team being removed from the league. Keep it friendly and sporting teams please.

Rule Clarification:

No Substitutes exist in this format. All Players who you wish to play MUST be entered in the draw from the outset. If one subsequently does not arrive there are no substitutes allowed and the game will be lost. The draw continues until all players from each team have been named.

Rule Clarification:

Late players. Several teams have had late players. Most teams recognise this happens and allow this to ensure fair play (agreed by both captains). When the player arrives they must play the next game if they have missed theirs in order to get the order back as it was drawn. If all the singles complete and the player has not arrived this is a walk over. Reminder a team MUST have at least 4 players at the venue by 20:30 for both League and Cup competitions.

Rule Clarification:

Singles and Doubles matches are to be played by the date specified but can be played earlier if both sides agree. If for whatever reason the game needs to be played after the date specified this MUST be agreed with the committee. The key is the committee understand when results will be in and if a game is not played by the date specified and the next committee meeting occurs it will be decided by the toss of a coin if the committee were unable to find out the reasons for it not being played. If there is a key reason the committee will decide who goes though.

Fixture list amendments:

Due to the number of teams and entries in the competitions we expect to need to put another round in the calendar which will result in a change of fixtures. Please look out for this on the website and MJ will try to make this apparent to everyone when this has happened.
