Tommo, You do a wonderfull job in updating both Leagues & the websites but could you please give people a chance to post the results of the matches before you update the tables. I understand that not all teams post the results but some of us do.

Thanks.

Ian.

Bravos 2 HHUSC B 3

Richard Spurrier 2920 Steve King 4200

Adam Bateup 2260 Darrell Skinner 1410

Nikki Bateup 1740 Chris Kirkham 1840

Ron Sheridan 1750 IanG 1580

Dave Swinbank 640 Paul Jobbins 5560

strange in 3rd & 4th games both won by a last red ball in the 200, Chris with a fluke of the back cushion & Ron going for it to win but he did wobble the black peg.

Good evening with the Bravos pub very nice & table in good position.

Thanks to Paul for playing in place of John Lear, get well soon John.

Ian seeing as your the only one who as posted I think it's fair to say people don't bother so what tommo has done is fair for others to look at aswell or otherwise I would probably be waiting till next Tuesday to see the last result go up

I've not updated any tables, Ian, all I've done is provided results information supplied by Roy.
This should not interfere with any posting of match reports - some are put on beforehand and some afterwards, the posters' choice.

I concentrate on Mid Sussex Thurs/Fri, Billingshurst Fri/Sat and Horsham Sat/Sun as regards updating the websites which is done at my own expense. I am dependent on my co-administrators (Roy, JT and yourself) to supply the weeks' info within these timeframes and on the whole this seems to work reasonably well.

I am not going to delay putting up stuff on the off chance that something else may still be on the way as I have a life too.

Being far away it is nice to see results. Surely this does not affect match reports which I also like to read.

By tables I meant the top post, all I'm saying is when I log in to post the result the day after the match it has already been done for me in the morning I am not being nasty in saying this & I have mentioned it before.

I appreciate that you need the info for the website and have already said not everybody bothers to post on a regular basis so what you do is a good thing but maybe a bit quick off the mark.

I don't sign in in the evening of the match and as you know am on the road in the day time so Thursday evening is the earliest I can put up a result.

Jan Smith 800 Paul 1780

Just a comment about iang's post I usually post early on a Thursday but had to get up early this morning so have posted our details tonight.Trying to post the match details on a Wednesday night is too late.

Ian,
In my time on the forum I seem to have found many and varied ways of winding people up, very few of them deliberate, but I can honestly say that never before have I known anyone cop for criticism for being too quick off the mark. I think most people would appreciate an efficient news feed rather than having to wait around and having to log in and out repeatedly to see if a result is up.

Have a Poll on it if you like, but otherwise can we stop this please ?

Watermill Millers 3 4 CKRBL 2 1

A word to the wise as to the revision of the result for Millers v CKRBL........

To quote Mid Sussex Secretary, Roy Wells,

There was an issue at the Millers v CKRBL match where a last ball shot came off the cushion, hit the peg wire and went into the 100 hole. AFW rang me for clarification.

I've since found out that this issue is covered by SCBBA playing rule 25 (cf AEBBA Playing Rule 108) which states clearly that here the score for the last ball doesn't count.

The CKRBL team captain, Ted Stringer, has agreed that the game between Jan Hinkins and Brian Coleman should be awarded to Jan so the match score will read Millers 4 CKRBL 1

As I have no doubt that there are other players who are not aware of the rule I am happy for the circumstances to be made known to the Forum.

With kind regards, Roy Wells

The plot thickens !

Going back to last week's game between Jan Hinkins and Brian Coleman, because of the unsatisfactory conclusion I came to, the teams involved have agreed that the game in question should be halved. This is truly in the spirit of the game and so the tables have been amended to show a match win for Millers as 3.1/2 points against 1.1/2 points for CKRBL.

This might be a good time to remind scorers to prevent the ball going into the pockets accidentally where possible.

With kind regards from Roy Wells

For the record:

a 5 nil win awarded to St Francis following the postponed match from week 14. – Roy Wells, Fixtures and Results Secretary.
