I was present at the meeting at which Scottish doubles was approved as the official format for CPL doubles knockout games.

At the time, the powers that be suggested (amid a fair amount of derision from the floor) that there was a rule as to whom should nominate if the team breaking were to pot a ball from the break.

The rule, we were told, was that the player who had potted the ball should nominate and his partner should then continue the visit, so instructed.

It would appear that there is still some confusion about this, as in a match last night, the team that failed to nominate at all were of the opinion in the ensuing conversation that the player that was coming to the table should have nominated, whereas I was of the opinion that the player who had potted the ball should have nominated....

No agreement was reached, and in any event the conversation could not continue, obviously, with the more pressing one minute rule taking precedence over such friendly banter....

Does anyone know the rules over who should nominate in a scottish doubles' game?
