Mini League Final Results
Mini League Final Tables
The Loxley have withdrawn from the Mini League.
A revised structure and fixture list was agreed at the June meeting.
A coin toss dictated that La Plata joined League B and the Forest 'A' joined League C.
There are three mini leagues one with four teams and two with three teams.
The winners and the best runners up will then compete in the semi finals.
The best 2nd place team will be decided only on matches between the top 3 in each league.
Each team will play the other teams in their league home and away.
Each match in the league stages and the finals is the best of nine frames of singles.
The matches consist of 3 sets of 3 frames.
Within each set three different players have to be used.
(Though a player can play in one, two or all three sets.)
A team can thus play a match with any number between 3 and 9 different players.
Two players can not play each other more than once in a match.
The subs from the June and July meetings will be used to create a mini-league prize pot.
Team sheets for the Mini League can be downloaded from the Downloads page.
Updated Rules of Play and League Guidelines
Julia has kindly updated the Rules of Play and the League Guidelines for the 2023 season.
These can be viewed on, and downloaded from, the Downloads page.
All league players are encouraged to read the Rules of Play.
Errors or omissions can be reported via the Captains' WhatsApp group or the Facebook page.
