EGM 15th Jan

[peetee]

Dear Members
I am calling an EGM to discuss the 1pt deduction rule at the Gladiators Club on Wednesday 15th January 8pm.To either remove or reword this rule.

Rule 20. If a team cancels a match they will be deducted one point, unless they arrange to play it before the date of the original match.
Please feel free to send me your input before the meeting regarding this rule.

I would like to propose that we add a "proviso" to the existing rule that says:

"In unforeseen circumstances the OBBA committee have the power to rescind the deduction of a point. This will only apply in the case of a team not being able to field a full team of registered players due to "genuine" sickness, injury, holidays or work commitments. The team Captain informing the OBBA Secretary is not enough to rescind the point and it will be a committee decision based on factual knowledge"

Is there anyone who would like to second this?

Hi All

The old rule 20 was voted out 6-4.

The new rule now being...

If a team cancels a league match they will be deducted 2 points. They must inform the secretary giving a genuine reason (Excluding holidays). The OBBA committee have the power to rescind the 2 point deduction if the reason for cancellation is acceptable to them. In either case the cancelled league match must be played within 21 days of the original fixture or the 2 point deduction will stand.

11 attended.
Representation from 7 of our league teams

I am at present preparing a new set of rules.

Cheers
Pete

Hi Pete, can you confirm if this is only if you cancel a match and not play it beforehand? The old rule you could play it beforehand but this rule suggests otherwise?

The old rule said you had to play the match beforehand to avoid the 1 point deduction. If you play a match beforehand now it is assumed the match is played and not cancelled therefore the 2 point deduction does not apply.

Agree..
