Hi All,
We have changed the date of the AGM to the 28th January at 13:00, venue will stay the same.

Can ALL Secretaries/Captains please send me the entry forms before the 21st January so i can look at formats etc, as you know we have a proposal to change the competitions so i will need to look at both in preparation for this being accepted/rejected.

Reminder of the Proposal
Proposed by: - Mark Trafford
Seconded by: - Stephen Coleman
Proposal to restructure the main and C Team competition.
Instead of having one separate knockout and a C Team league we amalgamate them both into one. This would mean having 3 divisions and each team plays all the teams in their division, home and away. There would be a winner of each division and promotion/relegation between the divisions. This would allow some teams to have more fixtures each year rather than possibly losing in round one and then not playing again, and for other teams there is no extra games to play. So in theory there would be 3 months to play 2 legs of billiards. Example format below based on 12 teams but can be amended based on number of teams willing to play.
Divisions will be based on Pts, Wins, Then Aggregate, however if a result is 5-5 then the game finishes as a draw (aggregate only counts for league standings not match wins). We can repurpose the supplementary shield for the division 2 winners and the C Team Sheild will remain for Division 3. The divisions for the first year will be seeded based on previous years results, and any new teams will be evaluated and not necessarily join straight into division 3.
If two teams are from the league and play in the same division then they will automatically play first to prevent any question of helping a team win a league.
