First set of 5 has been played,home team fills the card in as do we. 2nd set gets under way then home teams 10th player walks out. What's the ruling on this?

---

You claim the frame surely!

---

If the name is on the card and the player walks out then that's a loss of frame surely

---

there's no way theyd be allowed to put someone else in as that would defeat the object of putting five down at a time. I guess it depends on which team it is :bite:

---

I suppose Ricky you could say putting Jacko in at 4 / 5 in your first set and him then turning up other teams can claim the game then as he was not there when the card was written out 'you cant have your cake and eat it?!'

Just my view...

---

If we all adhered to the rules most certainly would have to concede frames and that would go against the grain of our upstanding Gentlemen?s league, so let?s not split hairs.

:mad:

---

Does this help? It's from the league rules.

'Alterations are not permitted after the away team names have been entered, other than for an unforeseen situation, in
which case any alteration must be agreed by the opposing team secretary. Failure to comply will result in the frame being
awarded against the team in default.'

---

Case closed...

This was an unforeseen situation as our guy 'spat his dummy' and left after not getting a game.

Jury you are dismissed.

Thanks Judge 'Teach' Judy.

Teach we are all aware the rules and sucking eggs is something i do not take to kindly.

but we all bend the rules to suite and they are there to be challenged!!

Judge Teach Judy, :lol:

---

So i am guessing you had filled out the card & then one of your players who's name was down to play left before his game (for whatever reason)

Common sense would suggest you ask if you can put another player down instead if you have a spare one available, this would then be down to the opposing team to agree or not.

Surely sporting behaviour would prevail & the problem would be resolved, although the rules do say that the opposing team can refuse & claim that frame.

So what happened, do tell

---

Thankyou, someone with some common sense! :o

---

U can't have your cake and eat it. I just wanted to know what the rule was Scott. When your player left,one of your team altered the card without mentioning it to our captain or secretary. Then when I spotted it was told by one of your players"it's allowed trust me" his actual words. As for jacko the card is not altered to suit his lateness.

---

For which you are entitled to ask no questions there..
I agree the card should not have been altered without asking Paul first and was not aware it had happened.
As for Jacko are you saying he's not good enough to get in the top 3 therefore he turns up late?!? :D:

It was all over well before the 10th frame anyway so it didn't matter. As for our guy I wonder if he will turn up tonight... Hmmm..

---

Just to clarify, Chris has simply reiterated what the rules state, which is what I indeed posted!

---

Dunno mate,he looked pretty angry as he sped past.

---

WELL I LIKE MR NOVEMBER HES A LOVELY LAD

---

Maybe he was late for a photo shoot!!!!

---

barely good enuf to make the 1st 10 these days m8 but just about sneak in the top 5 as names wins frames so they say n if I played scott all the time then maybe I mite win enuf to get in2 the top3 :bite:...even tho I left early its clear the only issue last nite woz they changed the card without asking,there a good bunch n im sure it woz not done ina under handed manner as they no we would b fine with it,just think the not asking bit n simply presuming as been taken the wrong way n theres no harm done,we can all b a little wiser for the future n maintain a sporting attitude n etiquette :angel:
