Please see below some proposals, if anyone would like to second them....

Proposal 1
There have been a few comments over the past season or two regarding not playing enough league games, so I have come up with the following proposals to vote on regarding the format of the league and how the competitions are played.

With Options 1 & 2 I am proposing more league games along the lines of playing everyone once, then everyone in just your own section a second time.

Option 1 – All competitions to be on a play-by date, There can be 3 months given for each round, so plenty of time to get games played if you are in a few competitions. Pairs & Threes can be put on set Thursdays if preferable
Option 2 – Comps to be played over the summer, after the season. This would mean no summer league but can spend the summer months playing all the competitions with each competition having a set Thursday. Finals night will then be played in September as a curtain raiser for the new season.
Option 3 – Keep the same number of league games as now but have longer runs of league/comps. Along the lines of 4 weeks of comps to start the season, then having a longer Christmas break of league game, with 3/4 weeks of comps either side?

Proposal 2
To do away with all runner-up trophies for team competitions. League, KO Cup, JMB Cup, Threes.

Proposal 3
To re-purpose the Never Won Cup. As there will potentially only be 4 entries next season, I am proposing to change the criteria of this cup. At the moment, it is open to anyone who has not won a singles title. I am proposing to change this to anyone who has not won a singles title for the past 5 or 10 years.

I have a couple of proposals if anyone wants to second them

1 To do away with threes comp as we already have ko cup and jmb.


2 Teams to be informed which section they are in before comp sheets released giving better information which comps you can enter.

Mark....I'm not sure what you are saying in the bit above in "bold/underlined"? Can you explain more?
I Like the idea of playing the league/team cup comps with other comps either side (or after) but not sure that's what you mean?

[alan]

I would like to make an amendment to one of Mark's proposals as below:

Proposal 2
To do away with all runner-up trophies for team competitions. League, KO Cup, JMB Cup, Threes.

Amend to: Do away with all runner-up trophies for team competitions. League, KO Cup, JMB Cup

Reason for removing "Threes" is that this is a competition payed for by the entrants and is not, as such, a team competition but a competition for 3 players from a team. As it is paid for by the entrants it should have a runners up trophy.

Would anybody like to second my amendment?

Proposed by Kevin Giles that the JMB League Cup competition change from 6 singles to 3 singles and 3 doubles as follows...
Player 1 v Player 1
Player 2 v Player 2
Player 3 v Player 3
1/2 v 1/2
2/3 v 2/3
3/1 v 3/1

Of Marks proposals, I would be happy to second Option 2 of Proposal 1, and to second proposal 3.

2 further proposals from me if anyone would like to second them?

Proposal 1

Play the League as now (every team once, home and away) plus KO and JMB cup games. Games to be played on a Thursday without there being any weeks in between for competitions.

This will ensure teams are playing at their home venue on a more regular basis.

Competitions to be played as and when e.g. Play By dates, Thursdays before/after the League and Cups have been played


Proposal 2

Change the rule for promotion/relegation to be based on points and not League positions. If teams are level on points in 2 sections (Premier/One) then there will be no promotion or relegation. As now, if a team is improved or weakened by the signing/loss of a player then the committee has the right to intervene and overturn the rule.

Example: Winter 2023/24
Premier                                                                   Section 1
Vikings A……..61                                                       Littlemore….57 (Promoted)
Oracle…………57                                                         Vikings B….52 (Promoted)
Donnington…....49                                                    Berinsfield…33
Staff Club……..48 (Relegated)                                     Masons…….31
Democrats…….44 (Relegated)
