Hi Folks

IMPORTANT DIARY DATE - The Finals night for the current league will be changed from 6th August 2012 and moved to 10th September 2012. This is due to a number of people requesting the move due to Summer Holidays. This does not change the start date of the new season, this will still be 13th August 2012.

IMPORTANT - The Cottage will be playing all their home games at The White Horse for the rest of the season, for some strange reason the Landlord wishes to close on a Monday evening. Neil, the landlord of the White Horse has kindly put up a second board. Captain's please ensure all your team members are aware of this.

The League - 30/04/2012

The Catholic Club's 7-5 win over the Crucible, coupled with the Spotted Dog B's win over their A team sees the Spotted Dog B take over top spot with 29 points. The Catholic Club jump into 2nd spot also on 29 points whilst the Crucible drop down to 3rd.

The other results this week include a win for the White Horse (9-3) over the Cottage and a draw for Yattendon and the Ibex.

General Bits and Pieces

There was a proposed a change to the scoring system. It was agreed this would be tried for the forthcoming season and reviewed before continuing with further seasons. The details are shown below:

Format to be kept as is; 6 singles, 3 pairs, 2 three’s but the captains leg of 1 game of 501 now counts to the match score. This lends to the possibility of a match resulting in a draw (6-6). So the points system changes;

• 4 points for a win
• 2 points for a draw
• 1 point for a loss

There will still be a separate Captains league and the old match points will be used, like in football as a sort of goal difference (eg legs for and against).

So as an example Team A plays Team B and wins 8-4, Team A score 4 points for the win and gains 8 legs for and 4 legs against, giving a legs difference of +4. This will be used in the case of a points tie at the end of the season. Team B will score 1 point for the loss and a legs difference of -4.

Hope this all makes sense, any problems give me a call.

There are a couple of new additional rules, these are in effect as of 16th January 2012. They are as follows:

• Rule 2f.
  Both Captains must agree to any changes to the draw made at any point during a league match, this is before making any amendments to the score sheet. If either captain disagrees then no change to the original draw can be made.
• Rule 2g.
  When doing the draw, If a team has five players then the opposing team with 6 players must put their cards down first before the five man team lay down their cards.
