2010 AGM

A big thank you to everyone who made the effort to turn up to last night AGM of the league. If you didn't bother to turn up and use your vote then you don't really have a right to moan about alterations you don't agree with. The following significant changes were agreed:

1) Changing the minimum number of players required for a team from 8 to 6. The format of play was changed to the following to accommodate this:

Darts: 3 Pairs of 701 and 4 singles of 501
Dominoes: 5 Pairs, but now 3 long games of 61 holes and 2 short games of 31 holes (a player can play both long and short games)

2) Increasing the Registration fees and Player transfer fees by 50p each to £2.50 per player. Everyone agreed to leave the annual competition fees at £1.00 per player to help attract increased interest in these competitions.

3) Playing the Brian Widdowson Bowl competition annually at the Radcliffe RBL with all teams in the league involved with the use of multiple boards and the format reverting back to best of 3 legs. With the current number of teams in the league we can play down to a winner on the night.

4) Rule 2e was changed to the following: 'A minimum of 4 secretaries meetings will be held each season and all teams will be required to send a representative. The dates of these meetings will be set out in the fixture schedule literature given out at the start of a season'.

5) The number of trophies given to teams was reduced from 10 to 8. If teams need more trophies they should state this as soon as they have won something.

6) Use standard peg boards in domino matches, a new rule to be added that reads: 'Teams should only use a standard two track peg board in dominoes matches where players move scoring pegs to the top of the board and back again. The use of non standard peg boards should not be allowed eg. homemade boards where the two tracks are separated and the scoring holes are not housed within the same piece of board which makes keeping track of the scoring pegs more difficult.

The league rules will be updated in due course to reflect these new changes.
