This letter has been sent to all division 1 captains today:-
The committee has noticed that several matches have been played to PAR 11 scoriing.
This has caused concern that the Priory league is being run by teams doing what they want.
The committee would be more than happy to resign and get on with their lives.
The committee operates by enforcing rules as agreed at the AGM .
PAR 11 was rejected at the last AGM . To make changes to the rules requires an AGM or somebody to call for an EGM. At the recent Kent AGM it was recommended that the 2 Kent leagues should trial PAR 11 next summer.
After reviewing the situation and considering the options taking into account the views expressed by surveys that seem to have been held (even though they were not unanimous) we feel we have arrived at a good compromise.
We have agreed that teams can play PAR 11 if both captains agree before the match starts.
In which case each individual game must be completed using the same agreed scoring system.
Should the captains disagree then the HANDS OUT /HANDS IN to 9 should be used.
Hopefully this issue can be resolved at the next AGM if enough people attend to vote.
