    Play-off arrangements - fixtures (update)

    Arrangement email count: 93

    Play-off fixtures are now on the website.

    Some arrangement details:

    • Player eligibiity: Only players who have played for the team at least once over the two halves of the season may play in that team. Preferably, a team from last half will be made up of last half players!
    • Marking will be split; 3 matches by one team, 2 matches by the other team. You can argue over which team provides the third marker...
    • There will be 4 bonus points awarded to the winners (as per the league) to make sure that the winners actually win! This assumes I get the fixtures on the system...
    • No food on the night but beers would be a good way to finish off - to be paid for by the losing team!
    • The outcome of these play-offs are to declare a champion for each of the divisions for the whole season. There is kudos (!) but it does not affect promotion or relegation for next Autumn's mixed league.

    Latest fixture list. Confirmations in bold:

    • Prem A: BLTSC Tigers A v BLTSC Tigers A - we already have the Prem A champion!

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Update - I forgot that Vivo Sports had offered to host some play-offs so many thanks to them (they're not even in the play-offs) and I'll schedule the Div 4B match between Bath Uni 4 and David Lloyd F to be played at Vivo Sports on the 22nd. We do at least now have a full set of fixtures...

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Really sorry this is getting a bit late but I didn’t get all that many offers of courts to host the play-offs and I’ve been personally swamped and unable to spend any time on this. This is where I got to:

    I spoke with Annette to find out what Jeremy had done about the play-offs in the past and he had done a tremendous job of arranging them so that third party clubs provided courts therefore ensuring no home advantage but, given the few offers of courts this time around, I’ve decided to turn that on its head and reward those who have offered courts to play their play-off at home. Any costs should be shared by both teams to be sorted out on the night.

    Here is the list of play-offs and where I believe they can be played. I realise it’s short notice for next Weds so please do what you can and let me know if you can’t book the courts needed.

    There is one unassigned play-off still. If you are one of those team captains then you have the opportunity to play at home if you can get back to me with the offer to host. You can choose either the 15th or the 22nd though since one of the teams is a Uni team it might be a better bet to go for the 22nd. I’ll only move away from a Weds night if both team captains agree.

    • Prem A: BLTSC Tigers A v BLTSC Tigers A - we already have a winner!
    • Prem B: Thornbury A v David Lloyd Turds
      • David Lloyd on the 15th
    • Prem C: Bristol Uni Mavericks v BAWA A
      • BAWA on the 15th
    • Div 1A: David Lloyd D v Westbury David Lloyd B
      • David Lloyd on the 22nd
    • Div 1B: Lansdown C v Weston B
      • Lansdown on the 15th
    • Div 2A: Redwood Phoenix A v BAWA B
      • BAWA on the 15th
    • Div 2B: Bath Uni 2 v Kingsdown A
      • Kingsdown on the 15th
    • Div 2C: David Lloyd E v Shepton Mallet B
      • David Lloyd on the 22nd
    • Div 3A: Bunham-on-Sea A v Thornbury D
      • BAWA on the 22nd. Needed somewhere central.
    • Div 3B: Hutton Moor A v Lansdown D
      • Lansdown on the 22nd
    • Div 4A: Kingswood A v Kingsdown B
      • BAWA on the 22nd
    • Div 4B: Bath Uni 4 v David Lloyd F
      • TBA. Need somewhere south.

    Courts to be booked:

    • 2 at David Lloyd for the 15th
    • 4 at David Lloyd for the 22nd
    • 4 at BAWA for the 15th
    • 4 at BAWA for the 22nd
    • 2 at Kingsdown for the 15th
    • 2 at Lansdown for the 15th
    • 2 at Lansdown for the 22nd  
    • 2 still needed for the Bath Uni 4 v David Lloyd F match. Offers please.

    Can every team captain please confirm that you are OK with these arrangements, or get back to me asap. I need to know which play-offs need re-arranging.

    I’m particularly keen on hearing from the Uni captains as you guys are all away for Easter at the moment. Somehow you’ve managed to play at this time in previous years but I don’t know how….

    I’m emailing this directly to the appropriate captains and club captains and posting as a news item. Hopefully it will get to you!

    I look forward to a deluge of replies and offers! Please reply to [email protected].

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Only couple of replies from Lansdown and Redland so far which isn't enough to host 11 matches (!). We need other clubs to come forward to host or I'll have to leave it to each of the two captains to arrange.

    So come on Vivo, BAWA and David Lloyd(s) and please help host these matches.

    Please reply to [email protected]. Thanks.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Just working out how to arrange the play-offs. We have 11 matches to arrange and normally the date to play them would be Weds 15th April but we still have one team playing league on that date (!) so we'll need to extend a little.

    So, first off, would any clubs like to help host these play-offs? Ideally, there should be no home advantage but we'll have to see how feasible that is. We'll probably look to play on Weds 15th and Weds 22nd April. Please let me know if your club can help host on either/both of these dates. RVSP ASAP please.

    Play-offs are:

    • Prem A: BLTSC Tigers A v BLTSC Tigers A - we already have a winner!
    • Prem B: Thornbury A v David Lloyd Turds
    • Prem C: Bristol Uni Mavericks v BAWA A
    • Div 1A: David Lloyd D v Westbury David Lloyd B
    • Div 1B: Lansdown C v Weston B
    • Div 2A: Redwood Phoenix A v BAWA B
    • Div 2B: Bath Uni 2 v Kingsdown A
    • Div 2C: David Lloyd E v Shepton Mallet B
    • Div 3A: Bunham-on-Sea A v Thornbury D
    • Div 3B: Hutton Moor A v Lansdown D
    • Div 4A: Kingswood A v Kingsdown B
    • Div 4B: Bath Uni 4 v David Lloyd F

    If you have a preference between dates please let me know and I'll accommodate whatever's possible between court availability and preference.

    Cheers,

      Richard
