If you are suggesting 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw and no points for frames won then personally I would be totally against the proposal. Once one team reached 6 the remaining games would be dead, despite the faint glimmer that 'frame difference' will determine placings in the event of points being level. I think it is fundamental to league matches that every frame should count.
Given the fact that most divisions in the winter are stronger than the summer, I think you will find that on the ten frame format score will be a bit tighter than people anticipate.
Unless a team has a mare of a match.
Plus the added fact that ranking pts will play a part in the winter league.
So can't really see teams not bothering with remaining games when a team reaches the magical 6.
but your second game doesn't count toward your rankings does it? so the last few games won't matter at all if the team has reached 6 and players are playing twice.

That is the clincher really. With a 3pt system the league could effectively be won by a team of 3 players who never lose but forfeit 4 frames every match. A team who wins 10-0 every week but lose 6-4 to that team would come 2nd. If that seems fair to you then propose away but I shall be advising my secretary to vote against it.

The idea was an OK sought of one to mull over and ponder but reading the previous couple of comments I don't think somehow this would be passed if it ever came to a proposal stage.

During all my many posts on this subject I have been looking for reasons as to why this wouldn't work and these seem to be the most viable.
So at this point I will to your words of wisdom and call the subject CLOSED.
I would like to thank everyone who took time out in posting their views on this thread and everything that has been mentioned was taken on board.
