Committee meeting notes 13.03.24
These are the notes from the recent committee meeting.
League cup issues
We faced some issues with games trying to be rescheduled in the League Cup. It was
discussed at length. We want to just let everyone know that cup games apart from finals
are to be played on the date set. No cup games are to be rescheduled. This rule was put
in place to stop teams gaming matches when key players were not available. Captains
are also reminded that there is a ‘poster’ section on the app that shows all fixtures for the
year ahead.
Fixtures
All league fixtures are currently up to date. We have a spare week on 24th April if we need
to rearrange any league games but this would ideally be kept spare so we can play the
next round of the Danny Martin cup that week as there is fixture congestion due to the
amount of teams that entered the league. The only outstanding fixture is the League Cup
plate final. Toby/Woodzy to arrange a date to be played.
Singles
Singles was discussed at length. There will be two comps to accommodate different
ability levels based on stats. Please see the flyer for details.
Playoffs
The two individual leagues A and B will have two ‘League winners’. The two leagues will
then be split into three ‘playoffs’ based on points at end of year - Advanced, Intermediate,
Beginner. Information on what team is in what level playoff will be kept a secret from
teams to stop gaming and people throwing matches. The playoffs will be announced after
the last game of the season has been played (17th April) draws will be made and the
plays off start 8th May. This format was brought in to give all teams a chance of winning
something at end of season based on their teams ability after all league matches were
played.
Presentation Night - Saturday 13th July
The committee has a shortlist of venues that are suitable to hold the presentation night.
We would like a vote from each captain as to where they would like to hold the night. One
vote per captain to be sent privately to me, captains can NOT vote for their own venue…
Crown & Anchor
Sporting green
The Lion
The Whitehouse
Old Hall Tavern
There will be a bar tab at the presentation night for every team who has won or come
runner up in something this year. The money for this will be decided once a small
commemorative trophy for some categories has been brought.
