I just played Scotch Doubles for the first time tonight. I think its a wonderful format. Much more interesting, as it keeps you at the table a lot more. It also evens out the 2 players. As Danny was saying, You don't have the 'better' player doing all the work.
Danny, how about putting this topic up for a member Poll. I would be more than happy to forward this at the next AGM for the next Winter League. Any seconders. As for the talking, keep it, but with the minute rule.
Always have a plan 'B'
Even plan 'B' has failed |

A poll it shall have . . Leave it with me . .
If the concensus think it's a good idea I'll gladly second it . .

The same rule should apply to conferring as applies now, you can confer at the start of the visit but not between shots. |

That is how it works to the best of my knowledge when played in 8-ball . .

We still going to go with the mixed doubles idea too Danny?
With World Rules I'd always understood it to be no conferring at all but I seem to remember Jeremy coming on here and saying otherwise . . . |

Yep . . Mixed Doubles is rubbish in general as you generally get the bloke telling the woman what to do so this could mix it up a bit . .
No conferring at all will make it more fun and interesting IMO . .

That's exactly why I like the rules. I was able to hold my own playing scotch doubles the other night. In normal doubles I'd have automatically played a supporting role and that's not playing to my strengths. |
