Team Withdrawal

Cromwell Icons (Tuesday Premier Division) have unfortunately chosen to withdraw from the League. Their fixtures for the season are now null and void and Rack Anvil have received a bye into the second round of the team knockout competition.

 

Team Knockout

This week is the first round of the team knockout competition. If you haven't already done so, please contact the captain of the opposing team to confirm which night the match is to be played.

League Rules

Although we have moved to a new system with RackEmApp, there are certain rules which still apply.

Players still need to be registered before 8pm to be eligible to play in a match. The League Secretary receives an email notification when new players are registered and any players registered after 8pm will not be eligible to play.

When postponing a match, please inform the League Secretary that the match has been postponed.

When filling in the online scorecard, the away team fills in their side of the scorecard first at the beginning of each half.

 

RackEmApp

Please could teams remember the following when using RackEmApp:

When registering new players please check that they are not already on the system in order to prevent creating a duplicate player profile. When searching to see if a player profile already exists, it is recommended that you search using the player's surname first as some first names can have different variations, e.g. Dave and David.

In order for 8 ball clearances to be recorded and appear on a player's stats, you have to select who broke in the frame. If you leave this blank it won't be recorded.

Both teams need to confirm the result at the end of the match for the table to be updated. Several teams have not been doing this in the first couple of weeks.
