The official start time for matches is currently 20:00, but teams are able to arrange between themselves to start matches earlier if they wish to do so. It has been proposed that the official start time for matches is changed to 19:30.

It has also been proposed that we increase the number of frames in matches and reduce the minimum number of players required to play a match. We are therefore offering teams the following match formats for the new season:

Option A - 12 frames with a minimum of 6 players. No player can play more than 2 frames.

Option B - 14 frames with a minimum of 6 players. A maximum of two players can play 3 frames. The remaining players can play no more than 2 frames.

Option C - 18 frames with a minimum of 6 players. No player can play more than 3 frames.

Option D - 12 frames with a minimum of 5 players. A maximum of two players can play 3 frames. The remaining players can play no more than 2 frames.

Option E - 14 frames with a minimum of 5 players. A maximum of four players can play 3 frames. The remaining players can play no more than 2 frames.

Option F - 18 frames with a minimum of 5 players. A maximum of four players can play 4 frames. The remaining players can play no more than 2 frames.

Please could all teams submit their votes for the match start time and match format to grimsby.pool@gmail.com by the 19th September at the latest.
