As with all competitions in the Wallingford League the names are drawn out of a hat at a comittee meeting and then the draw is reviewed for suitable venues based on the names drawn out. Venues are reviewed and allotted based on a random basis once the draw has been done we will try to ensure that people play as many venues as possible.

I am not aware of ANY results from this competition, would you please snsure that your matches for the first round and quarter finals are played by 31/3/13 at the latest, failure to do so will result in forfeit of the match, unless there are extenuating circumstances.

This is true but I can assure you that there is no intention to ignore the pub, The Masons is probably the busiest of the venues with regards to normal pub trade and as the competitions are on play by dates rather than Mondays it can be more difficult to arrange there.  This together with looking at who is left in which competitions, which tables they play on etc lead to the venues allocated at the committee meeting last week.  We try to get a reasonable balance of venues as well as not making people travel too far to play their matches if possible, this is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve given an ever decreasing number of venues.

I will raise this as a matter at the next meeting to ensure that the allocation of venues is seen to be even, it could be that next season more early rounds of competitions are played at the Masons as it can be a very long trip for some people to play 1 match, and yes I do understand that some players have raised the same issue already this year about playing locally.

We do try to get it right but don't always manage to please everyone.

I see there are competition dates on Mondays coming up so I would expect to see some matches played there.

Hi Alan, unfortunately there aren't the only Mondays without league games are bank holidays which were deliberately left clear.
