RULES REMINDER + NOTES FROM AGM
Just to clarify a couple of things raised at the AGM:
RULE 18 - The name of players to be drawn by both Captains (turn of cards). Cards 5-10 will be numbered by captains prior to being turned over and will be played in that order.
RULE 35 - A player cannot play twice in a match more than four times in a season.
We ask that both captains apply common sense when using these rules and act within the spirit of the game. It is reasonable to accept that on occasions, some captains may not know if they are going to be short of players until after a match has started for various reasons and cards have been drawn. We also ask that captains do not try and use the playing twice rule to their advantage. It is strictly to be used when a team is short of players only.
Once cards 5-10 have been drawn, they must be played in that order and neither captain has the right to change the order unless in an extraordinary circumstance and agreed by both captains.
KO CUP PROPOSALS
This now will be 8 a side and handicapped, with the league committee setting the handicaps. This will be done before the start of the season and once the league structure is confirmed.
2025 FIXTURES / LEAGUE STRUCTURE
We are giving clubs until the end of the month to confirm if they are entering a team. The league will consist of either three or four divisions. Fixtures will be published early March once we have checked with the Southport Parks League to ensure no clashed. If any teams have any special requests over certain dates in the calendar, please let us know by the end of the month.
REGISTRATIONS
If any changes to your player lists, please confirm before the end of March.
For clubs with two teams or more, you must notify us of your 5 ‘starred players’ before the end of March also.
CAPTAINS / TEAM CONTACTS
If this has changed, please confirm who the new captain is and their contact details if not already done so.
