19.10.23 - LEAGUE UPDATE ...MERITS DRAWS OUT ...
The draws for the Single Merits and Double Merits are out now.
A few changes to the opening rounds this year is that both competitions will be played to one winner on each table.
Plate entry is still free and you can enter if you lose on the night , either round. In the Singles though it will Championship players only.
NEW FOR THIS YEAR we will be using the APP for scoring .. Each player will be given a passcode for the APP via their delegate ...It has a scoreboard so you can enter each frame ... no getting mixed up what the score is !!!! ... plus results will go straight through ...

Single Merits Draws and Results
21.09.23 - LEAGUE UPDATE ...MEETING CHANGE ...CUP DRAWS...8 BALLLS ...
League meeting date change - Now Sunday October 8th
At this meeting we need to
*Single Merits entry £5
per player
*Double merits entry £5 per player
*REGISTRATION
sheets £5 per player (basically everyone on your app)
The 8 BALL issue and the break and dish / reverse dish
saga .
We’ve decided it will be easier (as the app designer won’t
change it) to record all 8 ball clearances just tick ✔ the BREAK & DISH
…
then you can see it’s recorded ..
Who cares as long as 15
balls on the table
All reverse dishes have been deleted and added onto the players 'break dishes for' on the Player Statistics Page
All cup draws are on the website for October 10th , every team is playing so check which comp your in ..
Afford KO Cup - Afford Plate - One Stop Computers Cup - One Stop Computers Plate
06.09.23 - LEAGUE UPDATE ... 8 Ball Rule ...
Last night saw the opening night of the league season .. all results are on the relevant pages along with league tables.
One issue from last night was ' whats a 8 ball' and a whats a 'reverse dish'
What is a 8 ball clearance and what is a reverse dish
in the world of stoke pool league ???
A 8 ball is made from the break
potting 7 colours and the black ball.
A reverse dish can only be done
if 15 balls are on the table at the commencement of the clearance .
In other words it has to be a dry break.
If a ball has been potted
it is NOT a reverse dish as to be fair to all players 15 balls need to
be negotiated..
02.09.23 - LEAGUE UPDATE ...
So the opening weeks are completed and we only had One
seeded team lose a fixture .. think I may have the splits pretty good.
A couple of little updates please check which Cricketers you are
playing at , it’s a good run from May Bank up to Oakamoor !!!!
Talking of Cricketers MB we are still hopeful that they join the league
…. Tuesday will tell ...after all the work that’s gone in ..
The
draws for all the cups will be done in the bext few weeks so keep an eye
out .
The APP has smoothly gone into full throttle and we hope
everyone has found the process quite easy .
The next meeting is
not due until October .. we will be voting on whether to change to a
money league from trophies … I’m hoping that prior to this we can have a
“poll” on Facebook ???
Presentation evening is coming quickly
80% of tickets have been sold , a great achievement by you all .
Good luck to you all in the forthcoming league season
