THE 2024 FIXTURES ARE NOW OUT...
It's getting closer to the season opener, so I thought I better publish the fixtures! So here you go!
Firstly, myself and the rest of the committee would like to thank all venues, teams & players for signing up to play in our league. We have had no issues in attracting the desired 20 teams again, in fact we have turned one side down. This was due to us not wanting to incorporate any ‘bye’ weeks this year, which we no weren’t popular with some last year – we do listen! This means that we can run a full season of action. We welcome one new team this year, being Yarnton British Legion. It’s good to have you on board and I’m certain that you will enjoy it.
As always, we feel we have come up with a competitive fixture schedule and handicap grading, which is based on team scoring stats
and obviously by the players’ which you have entered on your team sheets. You are still able to sign on more players, but be warned, this may affect your handicap. The handicap system has been based
on the averages each player achieved when last played, but with the emphasis still being on players hitting the doll, which is surely the way it should be. It was not easy this
year!
The most important issue this year is that due to the number of sides playing at the same venue, it has been impossible to avoid
fixture clashes. This means, on a couple of weeks, both the ‘A’ side & ‘B’ sides will be showing as playing at home. Obviously this isn’t ideal, but there was literally nothing that could have
been done to prevent it. It will be up to the two captains involved to arrange a new date for this fixture. Please see Rule 21 for further info on this.
We have kept the competitions FREE to enter again, so please get your names down on the Competition Entry Forms and send them in.
You will notice that the date for the Preliminary Round of the Knockout & Supplementary Cups is scheduled for Sunday 7th July. This doesn’t mean that you must play the match on the Sunday, it
just means that the match must be played by that date. If you are drawn in the Prelim Round and don’t want to play on the Sunday, just contact the opposition captain and arrange a new date. Just as
an example, in previous years when my side has played in the Prelim, we have played a ‘Double Header’ against our opponents on the Thursday when our league fixture was being
played.
As for the scorecards and results, the scorecard design is the same as before, so can all captains please make sure these are filled
in correctly and neatly. These scorecards need to be sent in ASAP so that I can keep the website updated. The quickest way to do this is to take a picture of the completed card and send me a picture
of it after the match. Please help me out with this as I hate having to chase people. Don’t forget, I will still require the hard copies of the scorecards to be delivered. Due to my work commitments,
I don’t always have access to a printer, so I need the hard copies to be sent in. My preference is for a picture to be sent after the match, and then the card to be popped in the post or delivered by
hand to my home address, which is printed on the card. Please note rules 10, 11 & 17 which clearly state that if result cards are not sent in then an 8-2 score will be awarded to the
non-offending team!
As for the website, I will keep it as up to date as possible and hopefully I can find some time for my weekly reports, but to do
this I must have the hard copies of the scorecards so get them to me ASAP please. All information and updates will be published on the home page, so make sure you keep an eye
out.
Good luck everyone

TEAM GUIDANCE
It’s always nice to welcome new teams to our league. We pride ourselves on running the league in a friendly way, but of course we have rules in place to make sure things are fair to everyone. To assist you in understanding what is required from you, please see below for some items to guide you in the right direction.
• Only players who are signed on can participate in matches. Hopefully you have kept a copy of your submitted entry form which shows who you have signed on. But don’t worry if not. If you visit our website, and go to the ‘ALL PLAYERS DOLLS SCORED” page, you will see the full list of players who are signed on. You can sign additional players on throughout the season, but you must let me know! Just email or text me with the full names of any new players. This is vital. As a friendly warning, we have previously ejected a side who consistently played ineligible players. Rules are rules. I am very flexible, but it’s down to you to communicate with me.
• As the home side, you are expected to provide the following:
o A clean, freshly painted doll
o A clean scoreboard, with players names clearly written on it by both teams, which will be the throwing order clearly displayed.
o A throw, correctly lighted, available for practice from 20:00 – no diners sitting on tables in the way!
o A scorecard – filled in first by your captain and then passed to the opposition captain to fill in. The home side should then complete the card as the match progresses. BOTH captains should sign
the card at the end of the match. This should of course be the same as the scoreboard.
o Some post-match nibbles – all players like a bit of hot food following a match!
o Take a picture and send in the card. The winning captain is technically responsible for sending the card to me. However, if you have someone who drives past my house then arrange for them to
deliver it. Send me a picture on the night so that I can get ahead of things. But the result is only official when I have the hard copy on my desk. I NEED THE HARD COPY
ASAP!
• Keep an eye on the website! This is updated every week, and you will find all the important information on
it

AND THE 2023 AUNT SALLY WORLD CHAMPION IS.......
He's only gone and retained the title. Congratulations to Rob Bradford, who produced a masterful performance on Saturday at the Charlbury Beer Festival to win the trophy for the second year running. The event was yet again well supported by players from our league, who made the journey to make it another enjoyable event. Rob was the standout player there, and it would have taken something special to have beaten him. Well done matey, and well done to everyone who participated.

CANCELLED & POSTPONED FIXTURES
Just to clarify the process, if you need to postpone a match, you must:
1.Inform the captain or venue of your opponents, ideally at least 24 hours before the match is due to take place
2.Inform the Fixture Secretary
The postponed match should be replayed within 1 month of the original fixture date. Don't forget, you can bring fixtures forwards if required. For example, if you know that half your team is going on holiday at the same time, why not play the fixture before they go?
Contact information for each team can be found on this website
