On Sunday evening, 21 teams (out of 31) were represented at the mid-season captains' meeting, each gaining 2 bonus points that will count towards end-of-season rankings.
The captains who were present voted on nine of the eleven proposals outlined on the website before the meeting. One proposal was not voted on for lacking specific options, but may be voted on at the next captains' meeting. One proposal was delayed until the next captains' meeting, although a mock vote was staged. Full details of the captains' meeting will shortly be available in the 'Information/Meeting Minutes' section on this website.
Of the proposals which passed, two will take effect immediately:
| New rules |
| 1.2.5 If a team uses an alternative set of balls during the league match, then these balls must be provided to the visiting team for their practice session. The set of balls that is provided to the visiting team for practice will be the set of balls used during match play.
1.5.4 In bars where a non-standard racking device is provided (such as a Magic Rack, etc.), captains must agree prior to the first rack of the match on whether such a device may be used during the match. Without agreement from both captains, such devices cannot be used for any of the games. |
