KPL Committee…
Following on from the AGM there have been a few changes to the Committee. Firstly, Andrew Chappell has indicated that unfortunately he can no longer perform the role of Chairman. We thank him for all of his support for the league over the past season or so and wish him well. Steve Weatherby has kindly accepted the role of Chairman (protem) until we can find a a suitable person to take over Chairman on a permanent basis.
We have two new Committee members, Jo Clarkson and Mark Booth, who will provide much needed support for the existing Committee.

Change to no talking in doubles rule…
A proposal to ammend this rule was agreed during the AGM. Such that if both captains agree not to apply the rule for their match, prior to the start of the match, then they can do so.
Eligibility For Knockouts – All players taking part in a knockout competition in the second half of the season must have played 3 matches in the first half of the season, or they will be excluded. (i.e. matches not frames)
Doubles Match Play – Doubles partners may discuss for as long as they like prior to the first shot being taken, (with the exception of the break-off shot), thereafter no discussion is allowed before a change of turn to their opponents. Failure to observe this rule will result in the referee giving a warning on the first occasion and calling a foul and two shots to their opponents on a subsequent occasion. It was agree that this rule would be reviewed at the Registration meeting prior to the following season.It was agreed by a vote (12 to 7) that if two captains agree not to apply this rule, prior to the start of the match, it can be waved for that match.
Please note we have changed back to the referee tossing a coin to establish who breaks for each and every frame.
In order to try and reduce the number of no shows for knockout competitions, entry into a knockout competition is £1 per player.
Captains please note that if you wish to rearrange a league match you must do so with the agreement of the other team/Captain and with a Committee member. Also the Committee would like to point out that the rearranged match should be played before the fixture it is replacing if at all possible and certainly before the next league match.
Please note the rules for the break & dish competition. From this season forwards the competition will be for those players who achieve a break-off & clearance only.
Can I please remind everyone that players must be registered prior to playing. This can easily be done via the website form or on the back of the score card with the agreement and signature of the opposing captain. Please ensure you send copies of both sides of the score card in.
Scorecards can be downloaded and printed from the link on this page.
