Dates for singles, Doubles & 3-man team competitions to be announced in due course. Entries must be in by 30th October NO entries will be accepted after this date.
Please ensure ALL players entered into competitions have their phone number input into their player profile (You can do this on your login under team details). We will remove every entry where no phone number is present before we do the draws. All players entering comps must play a minimum of 1 league match between rounds or they will be removed. Should a team withdraw from the league, all entries from that team will be removed.
For those who haven’t yet done so, you MUST add all your players to your team. Failure to do so will mean you cannot field a side when you come to access a match via your login & will therefore forfeit that match.
Committee News
As previously posted, we start with some sad news as Craig Hooper has decided to step down from committee duties & we would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all he has done over the last couple of years. We have recently welcomed Adam Allton as a ready replacement.
We have decided moving forward to assign committee members set roles to help us move the league forward, we hope this will allow us to continue running the league as smooth as possible. We have decided on the following roles,

League Fees
We are trialing a new online payment system for all league & comp fees this season. We will still be accepting cash payments but hope to move to fully online.
Captains should have received an email invoice for league fees, which you will also find on the rackemapp, on your team page. If anyone is wanting to enter competitions, then payment for that will be added to in a separate invoice to be paid separately.
Payments are required before first league match of the season & competition fees before the first round commences.
Banking details are as follows: -
Please put your team names as a reference for team registration fees, and detail for competitions.
Good luck to all for the upcoming season.
Thank you
EDPL Committee
