    Avon and BaD Squash AGM - tomorrow! - still time for nominations

    Just a reminder that the AGM is tomorrow - Monday 16th - at 7pm at BAWA. If you have an opinion on how the league should be run (and we all do) then this is the time to voice it.

    See you there!


     

    We are still looking for nominations for the two special awards this year:

    • Best junior - in memory of George Morgan
    • Greatest contribution - in memory of Jeremy Burns

    We did get a few nominations when we asked for the player of the year for the SquashPlayer magazine recently and they will be included in the pot but we also need nominations for best junior and are still open to other nominations for greatest contribution.

    Please reply if you have a nomination. We just need a name and why you think they've stood out this year.

    Thanks,

      Richard

    This is the proposed agenda. Please come along and contribute. The league is run for all of us and this is your chance to have your say and change the way things are run. It's no good not showing up and then moaning all year about how things are run.

    16. Rule updates – brief proposals here. More explanation, discussion and decision on the night.
      • Rules around playing twice in a week in order to get a team out (the ‘playing up’ rule) – what if the players win? Should we discount their results? How do we define ‘advantage gained’?
      • Whole or part teams playing down if the higher team isn’t playing that week. Is that fair? What limits should we apply?
      • Pro players playing in Prem B (or lower). Should that be allowed?
      • Order change rule – relax this one but be more stringent based on level? It's complicated to not get caught out with this one.
      • ES membership – measure using equivalent number of members who have played 3 times or more. No max of 5.
      • Rearranging fixtures must be done within 4 weeks of the start of the season - it went on for too long last season.
      • Should the 2:1 level difference be tightened up?
      • Carry on with play-offs? How else should we decide on the division winners? Most points won?
      • Rules around who can play in the play-offs? Same rules as for last two matches in league?
      • Anything else?
    17. Topics raised:
      • Why shouldn't a team get their bonus points if their opponents don't show up or cry off?
      • Other proposals; To be presented and voted for on the night
    18. IT update - badsquash, boxes, SquashLevels, running tournaments, ESR system community
    19. AOB
