Monthly Meetings

[STOO01]

as the auld hoose windygates have now missed there second meeting they are deducted another point and it was mentioned by the commity that 3 and team would be thrown out the league i think this rule is taking it to far we dont want to lose teams i think points deducted and a fine should be enough.
windsor also missed the meeting and lose a point
empire wanted there point back for not attending the last meeting as they had not received proper notification of the new meeting they were informed at 7.55 the captain had no money for a taxi to buckhaven as he stayed in lower methil.
it went to the body of the hall and the deduction and fine stood .
blazers did not vote on this matter

Their heads may be down because they may believe that they are out of contention to win the league after losing 2 matches so early in the season. As for throwing them out of the league I personally think that would be extremely drastic. Its only a social league with very little rewards at the end. Its bad enough having a free week as it is never mind the possibility of another. Point deduction and fines would be sufficient in this case.

Aye it felt a bit o a shambles when we saw the tassie go out last year, think the Auld Hoose has put Soapy in charge of the meetings? hehe.

Points deductons and fines should be enough of a punishment, suppose it depends on the attitude of the team tho, could nobody make it? could nobody be arsed? Would reckon the fine just being much higher after 3 meetings missed would be the best plan here.

Nae fucker likes going to meetings, but if we all want our say we have to go. What keeps baffling me is how mental desicions always get through.... but thats another story

Throwing teams out of a league is just pure stupid when the whole idea is to get people playing pool not stopping them.
But the rule is in place now for this season and should stand as you now have to be fair to the poor Tassie team of last season.
AGM is the place to get this removed, but what is the history surrounding the rule, give no team give a toss about meetings in the past

[STOO01]

we never had the loss of a point before. the meeting are better attended than before this is the first time 2 teams have missed a meeting so far , empire missed last month because of the mix up in venue. the ahw have missed 2 which is strange with the strong team they have you would have thought they would have fought for ever point and then lose it at a meeting is bad.
at the agm on a sunday afternoon after all the arguing and lets bring in this rule and trying to get it explained. people lose interest and just say status quo and nothing gets done , its the same with this rule about ossing a point the arguing about it then it got voted in and then at the end the tresurer said you still get thrown out the league for missing 3 meetings , then its does anyone want to go into arguing about getting that rule change no everybodys already pissed off so nothing gets done

Ok Stoo, what do you think of the following for next season

No kicking teams out of the league for missing meetings, but instead adopt the following:- miss one meeting deduct one point, miss two meetings deduct 2 points (total deducted now being three), miss three meetings deduct 3 points (total deducted now being 6) and so on and so on

Keep fines in place if you wish

[STOO01]

Maxwells had a complaint about the Douglas table it had been re-covered in red and not speed cloth (green as normal), Maxwells captain was under the impression that any table being re-covered must be speed cloth and that the red balls would clash with the colour of the cloth. The outcome was that Maxwells should have played the match anyway even if they wanted to protest. The points went to douglas but the fine of none fulfiment of fixture was waved.

Bayview bar never turned up for the fixture versus silver tassie so lose a point and are fined, bayview also never fulfilled the Blazers fixture but this was waved by their captain.
not a good start to the season for Bayview, just wondering how long before they drop out the league

Den inn Player Mike McHale asked the league if there was anyway he could compete in this seasons singles competition as the date of 1st round clashed with his trip to play in Ireland for Scotland over 50's.
The committee decided to swap league fixture 20 with the singles 1st round, so now the singles will be on the 25th February and league match 20 on 18 February.

Auld Hoose Buckhaven dropped out the league without fielding a side for any fixture it was decided to return there league fees. i think the auld hoose is closed . is it

[STOO01]
