Ooops. Sorry I was late!
Main news from the meeting was that the proposal to extend the match format to 10 frames was passed with an amendment for the squad size to remain at 12 players. |

The main proposal was passed with a majority of roughly 20 to 8 . .
Last night was embarrassing for a handful of individuals who felt the need to argue for the sake of arguing . . Someone pointed out after that you generally find people swear when they know they are beaten and that was ever so apparent towards the end of the night . . People seemed to forget that we were doing this for the good of the league and it's members and it didn't sink in to certain selfish individuals . . Never the less, common sense prevailed and we can look forward to what is the biggest change to the format since the league began . .
In addition, the following also passed:
T. Jackson Roofing Services (Tony Jackson) are sponsoring the Singles KO for 3 years (6 seasons) with the Semi's & Finals being played at the Thomas Farley.
I.C. Cool (Steve Rowlerson) are sponsoring the KO Cup for 3 years (6 seasons) with the Semi's & Finals being played at the Thomas Farley.
Paul Saxton was voted onto the Committee.
The plate is now open to ALL first round losers including Division One. As a result of this, Heritage Roofing (Martin Pantony) withdrew their sponsorship of the plate events. |

Which brings me onto something else . . There were thirty secretaries there at the most last night in a league of 58 teams . . That's an absolute disgrace and maybe stricter rules or bigger penalties need to be introduced? |

I did send my apologies early on, saying that I would try.
As much as I love pool, work unfortunately does come first now and then.

And I am sure there were others who were in the same boat but I find it hard to believe that HALF of the league's secretaries had prior engagements . .
You will find that those who piss and winge about the new format will be those whose teams had no representation at the AGM . .

Mark came out with a gobsmacking stat last night, which underlines the need for change, which thankfully got voted in.
50% of result cards across the board come in with "Picked Again" players.
So HALF the teams turning up on a tuesday are short of players!!!
This STILL wasn;t good enough for some, who as Danny said, just seem to argue for the sake of arguing.
Shame really.
The worst thing is, that there is this general consensus that we (division 1) are simply trying to get our way, but it is however the complete opposite. We care about the league as a whole. I've got friends in every division FFS!!!
When will some people see, we're not trying to rob you!!! We're trying to help you. . . .

Whether it was voted in or not made very little difference to the Eagles. We have 8 or 9 every week, and usually a player volunteers to be rested. I suppose it does now mean that everyone can get a game, because I severely doubt our captain would go down the route of playing 5 twice and dropping the others.
However, it has become noticable in recent years that the majority of teams in Div 1 are struggling to get players. Being able to fulfil a fixture with just 5 players must be a good thing. If one team stays in the league when they would have folded its done its job.

I'm guessing that the pick again rule has gone? (apologies, I've not read the full rules). Otherwise if we turned up with 4  would get 4 league frames per night which seems a bit unfair really. He plays enough pool as it is lol.
