Monthly Leagues Points Administration and general rules - (Hardy Cup and Chairman's Cup)
A. At the end of each month the league position is calculated by:
- Games won
- If games won are equal then by hoops scored
- If hoops scored are level then the lowest number of hoops conceded
- If still equal then by who beat who
B. Point Allocation
In a league of 5 players with all players having played at least one game the points allocations are:
Winner 6, Second 5, Third 3, Fourth 2, Fifth 1
In a league of 4 players with all players having played at least one game the points allocations are:
Winner 6, Second 5, Third 3, Fourth 2
In a league of 3 players with all players having played at least one game the points allocations are:
Winner 4, Second 3, Third 1
In a league of 2 players with all players having played at least one game the points allocations are:
Winner 3, Second 1
N.B
- In a league of 5 players in which two players did not play a game the allocation would be as a 3 players league
- In a league of 4 players in which two players did not play a game the allocation would be as a 2 players league
C. Walkovers/Bye
A walkover/bye is given in two circumstances only:
- If a match has been firmly set up but is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice
- If a player is more than 30 minutes late
Examples:
My opponent cannot play and tells me to have a Walkover?
No. A match has to have been firmly set up - players are absolutely not allowed to concede matches or offer opponents the points.
My opponent never replies to me. Shall I enter that as a Rollover?
No - please don't. For a walkover to occur the strict conditions of being a match firmly set up but cancelled at short notice (see above) must be observed.
If a Rollover/Bye is accepted.
The score is recorded as 7 - 0
