Please find enclosed proposed rule changes received for debate and voting on at the Delegates Meeting on November 11th at Holbrook Miners Welfare club at 7.00.

b.        A PLAYER SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED TO PLAY FOR MORE THAN ONE TEAM IN EACH SESSION.  WHERE TEAMS ARE PLAYING MATCHES ON SATURDAY EVENINGS WHICH WOULD NORMALLY BE PLAYED IN THE AFTERNOON THEN THESE MATCHES SHALL BE CONSIDERED TO BE IN THE AFTERNOON SESSION.

 

2.                  Proposed by Allestree an additional rule, League Rule 2c to read as follows “Where a club has more than two teams in a League, players may only drop down to the next highest team subject to the stated condition of his/her aggregate in Rule 2a.”
 

CUP RULES 1.
