I have asked Dave Alder to hunt out what he can
Those that I know which are needed in addition to the normal rules on breaks etc.
1) One guest player is allowed, subject to the rule that they can only represent one county per year. 2) All other players must be registered for the venue at the start of the current year. Teams from the same venue can amalgamate. 3) Lists of all registered teams MUST be sent to the AEBBA secretary by the end of August, normally by county secretries. Any others I've forgotten?? please post here or email me.

hi chris on point 2 in oxford we have always said players must be signed on in the same league as well as venue, this is because players sign on at different venues in different leagues. i myself play in three leagues at two different venues

just to add to my previous remark. at the tandem we have 2 teams playing in the wallingford league on a monday and two teams playing in the eynsham league on a tuesday, we would not be able to make up a team from the four teams just the two wallingford or the two eynsham teams.

I think, under the current rules, there would be nothing stopping you amalgamating all four teams.
I haven't yet seen the stuff from Dave, but I believe that teams from the same house can amalgamate. I do not believe there is any qualifier on being from the same league, same county yes!!
There would also be nothing stopping you registering the players for both leagues

I have reinstated this thread as I know know the existing rules. The following have not been ubderstood by many players (including me).
Guest players must play for the same league and their normal team cannot have entered.
The one player / one county rule DOES NOT APPLY to this competition. The rule is specific in which competitions it applies to. This is NOT one of them.
The much mentioned inclusion of Peter Sainsbury in the Berkshire team did not break the guest player rule, but it did break the other above rule which no one realised, as did my playing for the Tunbridge Wells side. We live and learn!!
The one player one county rule was set whilst this was still thought of as being administered by the table manufacturers. Obviously this comp needs to be played fully under AEBBA rules.

We live and learn!! Sav It's a good job the controlling body of our sport isn't the FA. Otherwise you would be chucked out of 2 cups, have £70,000 prize money confiscated and have 18 points deducted to put pay to your promotion. To add to it if you dared to appeal you'd have all your cups melted down and your cue summarily snapped in half. But fortunately for you you're a Gooner and not a Womble. Being serious, I welcome standardisation for all competitions played at this high level which qualify for ranking points. However IMHO for this particular competition the rules should be stringent on preventing 'ringers' from taking part in something they have no obvious connection with, but more relaxed as regards someone who has qualified for more than one county and otherwise might be able to make a choice: I don't really accept that having played one competition for one county in one calendar year should affect another competition in the same year: Why should it matter ?

Tommo has a valid point.
The original point of the rule was to stop the likes of KT entering several county singles in a bid to play at Reading.
Is the existing rule too stringent?? should it read that a player can only play for one county in any competition.
That would achieve the desired effect above, but allow the likes of Geoff Jukes to play for his pub team in a different county to where he plays singles.

I was recently admonished for representing Surrey in the Team County Championships and in Opens, but claiming Sussex kinship for entering "Jersey". It caused a complication on his spreadsheet, apparently. I respectfully pointed out that a) you represent whichever party organised the trip, in my case it was Sparky of Mid Sussex; b) JBBL are the organisers and the AEBBA can't therefore call the shots. My view is that mainlanders playing in Jersey are representing their Country rather than county anyway, so naming of the county is merely incidental.

I agree with Tommo with the following observation that the Jersey listings use either county or individual leagues so the organisers only intend for it to be for interest sake and many players play in different leagues and some like Tommo play in different counties and could play for Redhill/Surrey at home/away Interleague and Mid Sussex/Sussex at One Day Interleague etc. I do not know the answer for the statisticians.
