| Team Captains – please remember the 3 day rule: the scores should be with the shoulder to shoulder secretary within 3 days of the match being shot (excluding Sundays), either by traditional postcard signed by both captains on the night, or by both of them emailing in the e-card (see main S/S page for details). The League Secretary also asks that a phone-photo be taken of the scoreboard to act as a backstop for lost results and help resolve any issues that may subsequently arise. |
*** The average of any reserve must be provided on the result card of their first match (if not before) ***
(Handicap League rule)
Please note: The handicapping system being used this season is again the Bayley system, not the Macrae system.
