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.
