New
Business:
1.
Initial Rosters were set and the new handicap
system worked on over the summer months was reviewed. A Team Handicap will be used based on the
individual player handicaps. No handicap
will exceed 12 points. Handicap during
league play can exceed 30 but will be capped at 30 points in the playoffs. If the score is tied at the end of the night
the team not receiving points will be the winner of the match.
Each team
gets a score which is used to determine handicap. This is done by totaling the individual
handicaps, dividing by the number of players on the team and then multiplying
it by 10 as that is how many can play in a night. Handicap points are determined taking half
the difference between team handicap and then multiplying it by a whatever
number is needed so that the top handicap does not exceed 12 points. During the first 4 weeks this will adjust as
players are added/deleted from the initial roster and will not be finalized
until the next meeting when rosters are final.
Regardless of who plays that night the
handicap points are already determined.
2.
Ghost
players can be used. It will need to
be stated by the third match that a ghost player is needed. If matches are running late, players who
have not yet played, are only required to stay until 11 pm (in case of
emergency/illness may leave earlier).
The lowest rating player on the team needing the ghost, remaining at the
club, will be the player playing the ghost match.
3.
Playoffs
teams 1-8 will play in the playoffs in the same format of the past, teams 9-10 will play their own match and the
winner will receive money at the banquet and be recognized as the having
finished last in the league. This match
will take place at a club determined at the end of league play depending on the
availability of tables or at the Cercle because a table will be available.
4.
Cercle
has 4 tables - the two in the front hall are in the smoking section, the two in
the back hall are in the non-smoking section.
At least one table will be available to the non-league playing clientele
on Friday nights.
Old Business:
1.
Player fees Will be $20 for the year and
paid in full the first half. Players
added in the second half and who did not play in the first half, will also owe
$20. This money goes to the
banquet. Fees must be paid by the
end of first half of play and by week 4 in the second half of play. This works
out to less than $1 per week unlike other leagues who charge $7-10 per night of
play.
2.
