  Re-arranging a Match - Rule 10(g)

 
This is a reminder to all team captains that if you decide to re-arrange a match due to a shortage of players, there will be a 3 point penalty deduction made by the Fixtures/Results Secretary from your accumulated points scored to date once the match has been played. However, there will be no points deducted if a re-arrangement is due to 1) weather/ground conditions, 2) a death or funeral affecting the entire team or 3) one or more players from a team selected to play for a County competition
 
If a match is re-arranged please inform the Fixtures/Results Secretary ASAP so that the match can be set to a postpone and also confirm the new date of the match, once agreed, so that the online system can be updated
 
 

 
 
Suitable Footwear at League Matches 
 

 

This is a reminder regarding the BCGBA rule on open toed footwear which states:  

 

  
Law 10.3: Suitable footwear must be worn. Hard or block-heeled footwear, or open-toed footwear must not be worn whilst on the green in any match played under the Association’s jurisdiction. 

 

  
As all our matches are played under the BCGBA's jurisdiction this means that any player not conforming to the above cannot play in a League match unless they change into approved footwear
