CARDIFF
AND DISTRICT SNOOKER LEAGUE RULES |
| |
|
|
| |
|
CHANGES
TO THE NEW SEASON.
Teams and clubs will be permitted to play on both
TUESDAY and THURSDAY. Players will be declared at
the start of the season (squad lists) and then
can be added to in the usual way, during the
season via contacting the Match Sec. before
7.30pm on the match night.
The aim of this exercise is that it will possibly
increase the number of teams on both nights, and
in doing so, achieves the league's aim of
promoting the play of snooker.
Potters Bar and Savoy have already expressed an
interest in having sides playing in both the
Tuesday Division, and one of the Thursday
Divisions.
Consequently, the Tuesday League may have more
teams than the oft-criticised number of seven
from last year.
PLEASE NOTE:
A player may play for one club on both nights.
A player may play for one club on Tuesday night,
and another club on a Thursday night.
Players may not transfer between teams on a given
night, except in accordance with the existing
rule of playing three times for a team in a
higher division.
In accordance with the existing rules, players
could not join other sides in the latter stages
of the league season, to assist a side to win a
division.

the match and forefeit any frames left over. |
