PROPOSALS TO BE PUT ADDRESSED AT AGM ON THURSDAY 21ST OCTOBER 2021

General rulings

  1. Received from Jordan Simpson (Projectile Dysfunction)
  • Proposal to increase the maximum number of players a team is allowed to sign from 14 to 18 or remove maximum limit on players entirely. Reason for proposal is that a lot of players in the team work late or shifts, others are young parents so are unable to commit every week, it should be seen as encouraging sign so many are keen to help out with many of new ones having not played darts before.
  1. Proposal from Alasdair Harmsworth (Gypsyaires)
  • Proposal for a reserve pot of players to be set up who did not want to commit to 1 team but could be called on by any team who were struggling for players on a Friday night.
  1. Proposal From Maurice Clark (WSC)
  • Should a team not have the required amount of players to field a full team, they are permitted to make up to 2 emergency signings on the night. This can be people from an emergency pool of players if one is created, people from the venue and also players from the opposing team if they have extra players and the opposing team is in agreement. This would only be for that night and any ‘extra’ players signed on the night can play for other teams in the future. This would hopefully lead to fixtures being able to be fulfilled and less postponements.

  1. Proposal from Gareth MacRitchie (Posties)
  • Amend last sentence of “Rule 16” from Failure to play on this date may result in a points deduction and the committee setting a score line.
