can I suggest that as there is a possibility (certainty?) that the play-off could go to 6-6, that the committee (minus any Run or Moon representatives) decide in Tuesday's meeting how we should decide the outcome. Can I also suggest that everone goes along with the committee's decision and that no-one bothers to put any suggestions / complaints on here?

I can't make the doubles final on the Saturday night I'm afraid so that's not really an option - I'm already missing the Team KO final if we get there... Sorry to hear that...

;D Nice one Ed..... Ian, perhaps you can ask around and find out from most, if not all, of the teams we have played in the past whether the Run, as a team, can ever be accused of playing in anything other than a sportsmanlike manner??? Anyhow, I think everyone can also agree that the rules are set by the Committee. That any changes to those rules are discussed officially at the AGM and voted upon by everyone that attends. That spouting off about various different rules on this forum is NOT a vote for those changes, merely a discussion. That everyone that wishes to play in the CAPL MUST abide by the rules as set down by the Committee. I am sure anyone wishing to stand for a committee place and actually have a direct hand in influencing the direction of the CAPL would be more than welcome to put their name forward for nomination..... Finally (in an horrific fit of sportsmanlike behaviour), GOOD LUCK to all teams and individuals involved in the upcoming finals/semifinals. And WELL DONE to all teams that have already secured League titles or promotion.

why not get rid of the hotshots bore at presentaion night and play the play off then?
full crowd, good atmosphere and would be good for teams from lower divisions to watch the top two teams in cambridge battling it out
do the frames in the play off count for the rankings? as it is done on percentages as well as games won surely ithey should?

very much doubt frames count would be a bit unfair on Ian wouldn't it? Give the other contenders a chance to win an extra 2 frames.
Playing it on finals night is a great idea if the run lose in the semi tomorrow but chances are that will not happen.

If the match went the whole distance it could take 2.5 - 3 hours, probably too long to play on finals night. There is also a chance that KSR could be in the KO cup final that night. Nothing in the constitution about playoff games counting for the rankings but it really isn't fair on one particular player at top of the rankings who won't be involved in it. It actually goes on wins first and then only on % in case of a tie so I it won't be counted.

Seeing as CSC have the Finals night. I would like to suggest playing the play-off at The Rathmore? I'll put it to the committee. Thank you. If you need an official request, let me know?

I'll talk to you about the pool/darts thing at the play-off or finals night if you like. I don't know when we will play the play-off but Sun and Mon are no good for us because of Team k/o and superleague. On Thurs, Simon and Sean are playing the doubles k/o, so its up to them if they are happy to play the play-off on the same night? If the doubles was moved to Sat night, then this could clash for the Uni pairing with the team k/o final ? Any thoughts Simon? Ed [/quote] OK. We'll talk then. You could play Tuesday or Wednesday. I have requested the Match be played at The Rathmore. It's up to the Committee.

Personal view, I agree that frames difference should count. However, and please take this with no biased opinion, there is an advantage to teams who cancel games in order to play their best 6 players most of the time. In this case, the current rules do help to even out this 'advantage' since you'd expect 'Frames for' to be maximised with your best team.

besides that, I have 4 pints of guiness to play for. Did you win the hotshots then? If so, well done! and didn't you have a little wager on yourself at 8-1? ;D

If the current table is correct, then yes.
I am 27/9. Speedy 26/10.
I did have a little flutter. See you finals night Jamie, or maybe tomorrow so I can re-invest it? ;D

And Chronos. And Norris. If you think he was contradicting me, read the whole thing again. He is making my point for me, justifying my idiot comment, and you cheer him on like some playground bully's cronies. Actually, all 3 of you have just made yourselves look quite silly to anyone who reads the posts properly, and has the mental capabilities to actually understand them. Thank you Ed, you make it so easy. And by the way, copying something out of a book doesn't a clever man make.

What it was, was an attempt to be clever and knock someone by copying something out of a book, which backfired by making the other person's point for them. It was stupid, ignorant and self deprecatory. Well typed, though....... Anyone need a secretary?
