It seems to be taking a very long time this season for the tables to be updated, any reason for this?

Russel is div 1 sec and he brings his laptop along to home games to update tables/results etc on a Thursday night. Other divs results also update quickly too but you have to remember know one is being paid to do all this!
We are very lucky we have such a decent set up in cambridge area league!
Probably one of the best in Britain?

Have to agree with kezhills.
Its a really in depth system and as mentioned updated and administered voluntarily. I too get impatient and want to see how people got on and league positions etc. Makes it more exciting when I finally log on and theres the results.
I play in a couple of Petanque leagues during the summer and we wait sometimes a couple of weeks for an excel spreadsheet with an updated league table and thats it!

At the end of the night if someone from each team posted the result on their div forum page it will be easy to work out where your sitting in the league without having to wait a few days if players are that keen.

we will see if we can work something out for getting it done quicker
we appreciate your patience, i know it can be frustrating
having more results on the forum (like the good old days!!) would certainly help as i think i am right in saying certain administrators are able to enter results in any division, its worth a try

If teams text immediately after the match not at 3 am or next day I'd update quicker .

We're 6 weeks in, calm down. As long as they're done by the next round who cares? You won a game, I'd safely say it puts you 2 points higher than you were before the start of the match.

Perfectly calm thanks, it was just an observation that even on Sunday evening the table hadn't been update. I'm assuming the league system is automatic so all that is required is to update the scores for each team so at most thats 10 numbers that need entering. If we have to send results by midnight then you'd reasonably expect it to have been entered before the end of the weekend.
As for the doing it for free, i fully understand that no one gets paid. You should try entering a complete score book for a cricket club! So entering ten numbers can't take more that ten mins.
Of course the hotshot will take a little longer and can only be done once the cards have been received.

Pauld201 who do you play for?  I hope it's not 1 of the late text I get.... I update when I get ALL the results... Last week the last text was at 11 am fri morn....( never had a match last that long) I'm afraid as a farmer I don't have laptops connected to the internet in a warm office and I've better things to do running my business than updating in middle of the day...... If teams text in after the game when I get back on thurs eve I'll update ( as mentioned at capt meeting) but even playing in a team with Carl McDonald at the run never been later than 12 midnight finish.... So instead of moaning at the div secs I'd look at fellow capts 1 st. So if result is not text to me by the time I get home( ps I travel back to Ely) they won't be updated till I get the time over the weekend .... |

Blimey! Someone got out of the wrong side of bed!
It wa a simple question that wasn't designed to get anyone stressed or uptight.
I play for tev B and as far as I know our results are sent in as soon as the game ends, but if I'm wrong please let me know.
Maybe a late fine needs to be implemented? It could be £ or loss of points with maybe a single warning per season.
As someone wrote, we have a top quality website in the cambs league. But if it's not keeped upto date then it's not worth a thing.

I made It clear at the div 1 captains Meeting results must b sent no later than midday the following day after a Match or a Warning would follow .if they Do It again a deduction of Points. To b fair they have been Great in div 1 this makes It easy for me to Do but if results r late then we work aswell and updateing the table would have to wait till we get time

But if it's not keeped upto date then it's not worth a thing. complaining about people not fulfilling their roles will get only one reaction, that which was intended. a matter of hours delay (a couple of days tops) hardly constitutes it not being up to date. particulalry as there is no definition of what would be satisfactorily up to date for some of our members (trust me i have had complaints that it is not done by midnight thursday!!) you are correct that we have a "top quality website in the cambs league" part of which is the constitution: section 14: 20.A representative from the winning team (or home team in the event of a draw), must text or email the result of their match to the relevant committee secretary by midnight the following day. SM - FRIDAY NIGHT 21. Failure to correctly text or email the result will incur an initial warning. Further failures may result in a point’s deduction equal to the points gained for that match. as yet there is no rule to dictate a set time the committee must update their table. i assure you there is no malice in any delays - rather life getting in the way of pool if it is such an agonising wait for tables to be resulted please feel free to propose a constitutional ammendment to shackle the committe further. that way i can impose suitable sanctions on offenders or we could all just chill out a bit, its up to you |

Maybe the league sec's should update the results they get in in the night and do the others when they get chance after they receive them so the non offenders who txt straight away can see which teams don't and can moan about them and/or at them?

If i get all of mine through before i go to bed on the thursday night i do them then. If not they have to wait until i get to or home from work the next day.
You want the results updated on time then text the results through on time. simple!

Maybe the division secrataries should do it when it is convenient for them end of. I too cant wait to see the tables updated but in the knowledge that this is a voluntary thing I just keep looking till it is there.
Of course we could always make it a paid job, where will the money come from to pay this though? Until then though, I will just be patient and gratefull that someone is happy and able to do this for us.
