Perhaps I am over-exaggerating the Bromley Cue Masters history. When we were first formed about ten years ago the Cuemasters were in the bottom division along with us.I believe that they had just been demoted from a far higher division for playing unregistered players. So we saw quite a lot of them during our formative years ,normally just trying to stay in their slipstream !! They were always very well supported ! I didn't know that their supporters couldn't play pool. They have always been perfect gentlemen and a pleasure to play against. I was just trying to make the point that any player's participation is entirely up to the individual !!
cheers Pat. I started playing for them in about Divison 3 when they were on their way back up the league. We used to have mre 'supporters' in those days than we have players now. |

Alex, I would certainly concede that you and your team have just about cornered the market in the ability to make yourselves look and sound silly !! Could you kindly explain how you think that I have transgressed ?  |

legion won 7-0. addicts would need a 7-0 to take the top spot. 6-1 would be drawing points.. what does it come down to if this is the case? |

Farley Dukes won 4-3 against the Pawleyne Arms, good result, proberly too late, but still we are back on winning ways again.
Best of luck to the guys at Pawleyne Arms, I am still getting used to all the team here in Croydon!!
Cheers

Only an extremely unlikely 7-0 victory for the Addicts over the Legion would give the former the title. If they were to win 6-1 it wouldn't be good enough,because in the event of the teams finishing level on points,the win ratio becomes a factor. The Legion have won more games and would therefore win the division ! If John Frith turns up again,they should be able to manage the one game that they need ! |

Because Pat, you have the ability to take gamesmanship to the next level. Turning up with a full side and only playing 6 of them for starters. Whilst not breaking the rules certainly it stretches those rules to the limit. If you can sleep at night knowing you went to the Warbank and EARNT a promotion spot, then good for you mate. |

Alex,the rules are the rules.I haven't stretched them.They are clearly defined to ensure that people like you can't abuse them !! I really can't see what your problem is(apart from your obvious deficiencies) !! Please try to concentrate your efforts onto more egg-related matters !! Poaching would appear to be one of your main strengths !! |

I think turning up with 7 fit to play players and playing 6 is against the spirit of the game, and surely isn't the intention of this rule...
I wasn't aware that you could use it in such circumstances and if as you say Pondlife you can, then it should be stopped.

Its about time the pick again rule was abolished completely, then these arguments would not arise.
Has it been removed for the 2x5 frames for this Summer league ?
I would rather be playing golf |

I think this is the kind of thing that needs to come from the 'spirit' as you termed it, of the individuals involved and not the rules.
There are always going to be grey areas which you can't cater for with the rules and this is where respect for the game and your opponents comes into play.
For instance say you ruled that if you had a full squad then you can't use the rule of six. Then what happens if one of your players takes a call in the match and has to leave before he plays, or suddenly falls ill? You might say in this case the squad isn't deemed to be full so you could use that rule of 6, but who decides if a player is or isn't fit to play? There will always be caveats open to exposure. Just need to respect the spirit of the game as you say and everything will be good.
Personally I completely agree, for what it's worth, that if you have 7 fit players, then you shouldn't be given the advantage of playing only 6. Would seem to be completely against the 'spirit' (as I interpret it) of that rule! 
Just one other thing as well... I know that if I was the 7th player, and wasn't played in place of a player playing twice, it would certainly be my last appearance for that team! I'm all for personal sacrifice for the team, but that's pushing it a bit I think!

Yes. If you a player short you are 2-0 down. Simple.

Paul,I respect your point of view. As I said earlier,I was keen to see this rule 35 abolished many years ago. However,the vote was lost ,mainly on the grounds that some teams were struggling to field 7 players on a regular basis ! I always rigidly adhere to the league rules and perhaps it may be time to re-consider the necessity for this one. Please have a word with your secretary who would have to submit a written proposal,in order for it to be discussed at the next meeting . Fortunately it will not be a problem in the summer five-a-side league as it has been suspended for the duration of the trial !!  |

Thank you Pat, I shall bare that in mind
Incidentally its not a five aside league. Its a minimum of 5 a side league.
I dont see any significant changes in both my winter and summer leagues selection policy, in that all 7/8/9 will get a game.

Any Play-Off will be staged at Rileys (as per sponsorsip agreement) |
