1. Change the format
and make it a two-round match including at least
one doubles game, either as a 3-player or a
4-player team, similar to the Mary Rose format,
i.e. one doubles and one singles then 3 singles
in the afternoon, or one doubles and two singles
followed by four singles in the afternoon.
2. If 1 fails, the
we propose a new B-Level league using a similar
format to the above. Players at or below the
upper limit (suggest two) can also play in the
open league. If accepted, then remove bonus
points from the Advanced League.
As a
result of the ballot at the AGM, we lost the proposal to
change the Advanced League format but did get the B-Level
League proposal through for players with a minimum
handicap of 1, i.e. not better than 1. The format will be
for 3 players, including a doubles, and those eligible can
play in both leagues if they wish. This means that we can
give our B-level players good experience in advanced play
while concentrating on winning the A League, if we so
desire.
