DONEGAL JUNIOR SNOOKER LEAGUE

2000-2001 SEASON

1 The league commences in November 2000 with each team playing the others on a home and away basis on set Saturdays.

2 All matches start at 11.00 a.m. sharp. The offending team forfeits the first frame after a 15-minute grace. If the match does not commence within 30 minutes of the start time, the offending team forfeits the first point. If the match does not commence within the first hour the offending team forfeits the match. If a match has to be postponed, 24-hour notice must be given to the other team and to the secretary. The rearranged game must be played before the following Sunday as the result must be included in the press reports.

3 Games will be played on the best-of-three basis, with four players on each team. The teams get three points for an overall win, one point for a draw and nothing for a defeat. All matches must be played even if a team is three nil down.

4 A referee and scorekeeper (where possible) is appointed from each side on the night and his decision is final.

5 The written result of each match must be posted to Tom Plunkett at 'Breifne', Clareden Drive, Donegal Town, Co. Donegal to reach him not later than the Friday following the fixture. This is the responsibility of the home team. It is not sufficient to merely phone the result in. The captains' signatures must be present on the match-sheet.

6 The home team must provide refreshments.

7 A penalty of £20 will be imposed on a team which doesn't turn up for a match.

8 Any dispute or problem should be referred to a member of the Committee as soon as possible. This issue will be dealt with at a meeting of the Committee and club representatives. This meeting will take place within two weeks of the matter being reported.

9 Players must be 16 or under on the 31st of December, 2000. Dates of birth must be submitted to the League Secretary signed by the Secretary of each club.

10 The Player of the Year award will be given to the player who wins most games during the regular season. In the case of a tie, the player with the biggest difference between frames won and lost will be adjudged the winner. If this does not produce a winner, the trophy will be shared.

11 The entry fee is £10 per team. This should be forwarded to Darren Ponsonby in Convoy before the commencement of the league.
