General Business
A lengthy discussion took place regarding the format of teams for the forthcoming season.
It was eventually decided that the format will stay the same, ie 2 x 7 singles with the following provisions being made for teams that have less than 7 players turning up at a match.
Teams turning up with less than 7 players will be allowed to play 1 player from those turning up in each of the 2 sets of 7 singles twice. The same player cannot play the additional frame in both sets. The player will be drawn from a hat by a member of the opposing team.This format has been adopted for a 1 year trial. (Note - Superceded by new 5-5-4 format with Blackball shootout if Singles result reaches 7-7. 3 Man Blackball shootout the sudden death)
In addition should any match end in a draw there will be a 3 man blackball shootout for an additional point.
The Open 3 man team competition that was ran last year was scrapped due to lack of interest and the committee will look at alternatives for this year.
The league finals have again been sponsored by M Cowan/Cawburn by £300
M McLaughlin from the Ewington donated £100 to the league, and it was decided to look at having a competition in the Ewington as a thank you for his support.
A lengthy discussion took place around how the league was funded each year and it was decided to keep the football tickets in place again this year.
There were no further nominations for either captaincy of our super League teams so they shall remain the same as last year
A team - John Paterson & M Cowan
B team - Brian Guest
This being all the general business the Chairman and Honorary President then presented the prizes to the winners of last years competitions.
