CHARITY CUP FORMAT 2017-18
This competition will be played by teams as an individual handicap competition. Teams will be drawn into two groups, and will play each other once, with the top two in each progressing to the semi-finals.
The aim of this tournament is for it to be a fun competition but to also raise some money for charity. Therefore, we would suggest all players to put £2 on the table at the start of the match with some being used for table money and the remainder to be collected by the Home Captain and submitted to the League Treasurer for onwards transmission to our League’s chosen charity which is at present St Catherine’s Hospice. Donating is not compulsory of course, but it would be nice to match last year’s contributions despite the fewer number of games.
The Charity Cup will be played under the following rules:
• In the first two group games the first named team will be at Home
• The away team will have the break in games 1, 3 and 5 with the home team having the break in games 2 and 4
• Games will not be equal breaks
• The third group game, the semi-finals and the Final will be played at neutral venues with the order of breaks decided by the toss of a coin
• The order of play will be decided by a random draw before the start of the match
• Handicaps to be decided by individual averages as at the end of last season and will remain fixed for the duration of the tournament.
• These handicaps will be published and distributed to all captains and players before the start of the competition
• The player with the higher handicap would have to concede the difference as a start to their opponent. For example if Player A has a handicap of 5000 and Player B has a handicap of 2000, then Player B would get a start of 3000. This start is to be placed on the scoreboard before the opening shot of the match
• In the event of the Player with the handicap start knocking over the black peg their score will go back to 0 and not the handicap they have been given at the start
• A team will earn 2pts for a win, 1pt for a draw and 0pts for a defeat
• The following criteria will be applied to determine the rankings within each group:
1. Highest number of points
2. Highest number of legs won in all games
3. Head-to-Head result
4. Highest number of legs won involving tied teams
5. Toss of a coin
• The top two in each group will qualify for the semi-finals, with the winner of Group A playing the runner-up in Group B and the winner of Group B playing the runner-up in Group A
• The winners of the two semi-finals will meet in the Final
• If any of the semi-finals or Final ends as a draw the players who contested the drawn leg will replay the leg under the same conditions as the original game
