Its because venues have more than one team. IF all venues had one team, there would only be 2 (possibly 3 because of the 1/2 season cross-over) consecutive games.
2. WHY are we playing so many consecutive games away, or HOME.
Even from my OWN team from my own team I get asked this. When I do fixtures, I count every team and I get the best combination I can. For Example, season 2002 I think it was about 4 or 5 consecutive games for any one team
Almost certainly, I would love EVERY body to be on my email list. This will be at my discretion of course, as I would like a favour in return and that is that at least ONE team member prints out a copy and pins it up at their venue by Sunday night.
Being on my email list saves the league money and me time. MORE time for me to make this site better with as much information as possible. I supply the paper and ink. I once claimed for some ink, a few years back.
1. Speed! I often try and send out the same night I do the results, i.e. Tuesday!
2. Often I will do players leagues and this will ALWAYS get emailed.
3. If there is a problem, I will contact you via this method, the only other method would be the league sheet! Problems such as: unregistered players, lost score sheets, etc.
4. Ahh yes, it will make my job a little easier.
Yes, I purposely send via 'BCC', this HIDES all email address's from others. My main reason for this is to stop somebody 'reply all', sending EVERYBODY unnecessary emails. If anybody wanted an email address from players in their own team, I have no problem giving this out. Otherwise email address's are confidential and not even other committee members get access to them.
At the start of the 2002 season, modified in 2007:
NOTE:
A player is NOT officially registered until he has PLAYED for the team. e.g. doubles, singles or Team K/O. Until that point he is entitled to play for any other team. If he them chooses to play for the original team, then a transfer fee will be required.
10. I always seem to print out the menu, instead of the league table, How?
There are 2 ways, the best: Right click on the league table itself and select 'print'.
OR: Move mouse over the 'League Table', then 'right click' the mouse and select 'open link in new window', then print it!
Some times teams drop out of the league. Team scores are deducted for the whole season, but not player scores. This doesn't usually cause any problems. I publish the games so nobody can accuse me of fiddling! My starting point is, it is more personal! When a team is short, which reguarly happens, it is always the last player (or so!) who fails to get a game, this is bad enough! So, he gets the win, right or wrong?! It is bad enough not getting a game and to get no record of it too! The point goes to the team, so why not the player. Then the complications start....
If a player has played and won, it should stay on his record, likewise a lose should count too! This is consistent with wins awarded when teams dont have a full squad, some players are awarded the win! It would be unfair NOT to!
Extra games cant allow the players to benefit from game that others are not allowed to play. If needed, cant be taken into account at the end of the season (for most consistent player of the year!). If you look at 'players by team and 'League table (all)' then all can be clear (I hope!).
He can't, or shouldnt! It is obviously difficult to 'draw a line' in these situations, but once this line is crossed, the referee in charge of the game has control and has the power to stop it and award the game, but not before trying to get the captains to control and defuse the situation. If this does not work, then abandon the match and send full details to the committee. If you are the away team, make out your own score sheet, with supporting information. Hopefully, this will not be necessary to get to this stage.
Mick Florey, No longer results secretary , gave up in 2017. So the a lot is irrelevant. must have Facebook to keep upto date!
