ANNUAL ONE DAY DOUBLES K/O COMPETITION

 

Monday 5th August at Meole Brace BC

 

 

The start/scratch time is 10:00am so please arrive between 9:30 and 9:45am to register. Each pair can be same sex or mixed and you will need to arrange your own playing partner (can be from a different club) in advance. No need to pre-enter for this comp – just turn up on the day if you want to play. Entry fee will be £3 per player - please bring correct money if possible. 

 

 

All first-time losers will go into a consolation comp so everybody guaranteed two games on the day. Monetary prizes for all winners and runners-up in both main and consolation comps but no trophies. All members of Meole BC will suffer a 2 point handicap per team in both main and consolation comps. We expect to finish no later than 5:30pm.

 

  

The bar will be open and filled baps will be on sale together with beverages.

 

 

 


 

 

ANNUAL ONE DAY SINGLES K/O COMPETITION

 

This was held on Monday 1st July at Meole Brace BC with 32 players taking part.

Team K/O Competitions

 

 

The first round of the three team K/O competitions (Dick Meyrick, Ron Smout and Sponsors Shield) can be played anytime to suit your schedule with the cut off date being Friday 21st June so plenty of time to get them played. It is the home team captain's responsibility to get in touch with the opposing team to arrange a playing date. The home team can practise before the match but the away team will receive 12 points once all games have been played and the winner will be the team with the highest number of chalks.  Should the aggregate scores be equal then the team having the most individual winners will go through. If still equal, then the team with the player(s) with the highest differential score will be the winner. If there is still no clear winner then there will be a one end play off between two players nominated by each team captain and the lead will be tossed for.

 

 


 

  

  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
