As a result there are some dates for you to make a note of.
The Handicap competition
will run during the latter part of January 2012. The first round, consisting of the three man round robin format used previously will be on Monday 23rd January AND Tuesday 24th January 2012, 6.40pm start. This should offer a little flexibility for those who find it difficult to commit to one particular night.
The winner from each group will go through to the knock out stages to be held the following Mondays (30th January and 6th February 2012)
The final is likely to be Friday 10th February 2012 however this will depend largely on the number of entries.
The handicap system will be broadly based on league position however I may use some discretion as some players are well out of position.
Entry is free. Cash prizes for the winner and runner-up.
There will be a notice behind the courts at Concordia to post your entries or you can e-mail Ian McAllister. Entries for the handicap must be received by December 23rd.
The end of season Closed Competition
will be held during the week commencing Monday 23rd April 2012, subsequent rounds to take place each night during that week.
Again, depending upon the number of entries, the final will be on Thursday or Friday of that week ( 26th or 27th April)
There will be the 'A' competition with the first round losers going into the 'B' competition to commence the following night thus all players are guaranteed at least 2 games.
Entry is free and there will be prizes for the A and B competition winners and runners-up. Look out for the notices and e-mail nearer the time for entries.
The new website link
in use for posting your league results has thrown up one or two issues which needed clarifying.
Hopefully these issues will resolve themselves with the following guidelines.
Injured players must let Roland our league secretary and recent arbitrator, (with the wisdom of Solomon he is qualified) know that they are in fact injured and will not be able to play all their league games that session. No players will score points from this injured player whether they played their game or not. Harsh but the fairest way.
Claims are only to be made in the most extreme circumstances; i.e. a last minute cancelation with no time left to rearrange their match.
If at the end of the league session players are level on points then points scored 'against' will be used. If this is also equal (unlikely but possible) then the winner of their individual match will be used. If that was also a draw then the player having played most games wins, failing that, we might employ a coin of the realm.
Roland is looking at ways of introducing a bonus points system into the computer programme to encourage players to arrange and play all their games.
A quick note about Concordia men's first team's progress this season.
After a good start in Division 1 with the first four matches won, one or two injuries have crept in and a weakened team has faltered losing their last two fixtures against Westoe and Alnwick.
You can see the first team playing their home games on Thursday evenings, 7.20pm start, their next home game being on Thursday 17th November against Northern.
Your support would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
