Guide Lines for Team Captains
For
those who do not know me my name is Steve Wall and I took over from Stuart
Duncan in October 2006 as Fixture Secretary as well as the web master. I have
spent a lot of time since taking up the post, putting the league together
for the 2007 season, as well as introducing a new system via www.leaguebowls.com
for the recording of all the match results. I have been playing bowls for
almost 20 years many of which has been as team captain for Albrighton and
I am hoping that this experience will help me in managing the forthcoming
fixtures.
To be fair to all 84 teams and 1008 players who play in the Mid-Shropshire League each week. It is important that the league tables are updated in a timely fashion, it is essential that team captains help me to ensure all matches are played on time and the results are accuratley recorded and returned. The following guide lines have been put together from my experience as a team captain and I hope that they will help Captains who find them in resolving a problem that may have an affect on the outcome of a fixture or from incurring a fine for their Club.
Result Cards back to top
Once theResult Card is signed by both the captains the individual player results will stand.
On the occasion when team captains enter an incorrect match aggregate on the result card this will be corrected automatically when the data is entered into the database, if this affects the outcome of a match the clubs involved will be informed.
It is the responsibilty of the Home Team to post the scorcard to the Fixture Secretary and it will be the home club who will be fined if it arrives late.
Cards should arrive no later than 3 days after a fixture has been played.

Registration of Players back to top
Players must be registered with the Fixture Secretary 48 Hrs prior to the First Match, this can be done either by Letter or E-Mail. The last date for registering players for the 2007 season is 3rd July.
Any club playing an unregistered player will shall lose the game 21-0 and fined £5.
Fixtures back to top
Fixtures must be played on or before the scheduled date.
Re-Arranged Fixtures back to top
If in the unlikely event a fixture has to be re-arranged ensure all communications between the two teams involved is copied to the fixture secretary. (It is important that the fixture secretary is kept informed at all times)
Teams with less than 12 Players back to top
the result of the missing player must be shown as a walkover and the result shown as 21-0. Under no circumstance play an ineligable player i.e. a player who is a named 8 player in a higher division or an unregistered player, this will incure an automatic fine of £5 as well as the result being given as 21-0.
Changing Named Players. back to top
On the occasion players lose their form you may replace tham or swap them with someone in the 2nd/3rd named 8. This must be done in writing to the fixture secretary 48 hrs before the change takes place (e-mails are acceptable). You are advised to provide evidence of loss of form.Telphone calls to change named players will not be accepted.
