CORONATION CUP – SINGLES HANDICAP 

In the last two seasons, while we were unable to run one-day club competitions, we played the Coronation Cup singles handicap on the basis of players arranging their own games. We propose trying this again as an alternative format to all our other club competitions to ascertain how popular this is during more “normal” times.   

The following details will apply :- 

·  Entries to be submitted by Friday 18th March. 

·  Entries to be sent to Mike Milne (07752352065 / michaelmilne66@outlook.com

·  The draw will be made during the weekend of Saturday 19th March / Sunday 20th March and published as soon as possible after completion. 

·  Each round of the competition to be completed by the date provided. 

·  It will be the responsibility of the first named player to contact their opponent to arrange a mutually convenient time to play the match. 

·  Games can be played using own jack(s) and mat(s) if players are unable to access the clubhouse. 

·  Games up to the semi-finals can be scored by the players themselves if no marker is available. 

·  Players to agree to a procedure to determine the counting bowl if no independent measurer is available. If no neutral person is present and an agreement cannot be reached, the end should be replayed. 

·  Results to be sent to Mike Milne (07752352065 / michaelmilne66@outlook.com) as soon as possible after the completion of the match. 

·  Failure to fulfil a fixture before the deadline set could result in both players being scratched from the competition. The decision of the competition organisers will be final.
