A few changes to this season that will be discussed at the AGM on Thursday 10th Sept in the Orchard at 8pm.
Changes
🎱Match format as voted. - 5 singles,2 scotch doubles, 5 singles, 1 scotch trebles, 5 singles. If you oppose this format then please have an alternative for voting on
🎱Removing the pub providing food- slows down the night. Extra expense on the pub on top of the table cost. Extra frames with new format.
🎱Team capping - for the longevity of the league and to avoid teams stacking. If all teams abide by the capping rules then we should have an even league. See photo attached
🎱Play each team once - luck of the draw who you play at home or away. Fixtures generator randomly picks this. Every pub will have an equal amount of home/away games, depending on league entries
🎱Blind draw - as we only play each team once, it’s fairer to make it a blind draw each round instead of the away team being able to see the home team order.
🎱45 second shot clock is compulsory every frame. The shot clock is available on the new league app.
🎱At the end of league, 1st and 2nd straight to semi final. 3rd - 6th place into pre lim with 3rd and 4th getting home advantage. Semi finals are 2 legs. Final in neutral venue.
🎱Plate contested between 7th down.
🎱Digital match card and live scores app- we are going paperless this season so all captains must be present at the AGM to learn how to do the online match card.
🎱 last man standing fundraiser to purchase a new league cup, pairs cup, fund the new interleague team.
🎱 the best 9-12 players will represent Cavan pool league in a regional interleague competition where fixtures will take place one Sunday a month.
