Portishead, Pill & District Skittles League

News

Draft fixtures for the 25-26 season are available now.

The AGM this year was held on the 3rd July at the Pill Memorial Club, changes to the following rules and fixture format were agreed:

Rule 2: That the Annual General Meeting at which the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and the Committee be elected, yearly accounts presented and any other business in the interest of the league shall take place during the closed season each year and each team must be presented by at least one delegate unless the team is presented on the management committee. A team may have more than one delegate at the meeting but only one can vote, (one vote per team).

Rule 26: Teams shall consist of twelve players, however, where a team knows they will be short of up to two players - this needs to be declared at the start of the game - one or two players drawn randomly by the opposition can play again in the last pair. The draw takes place at the start of the game and includes names of all available players. If the drawn player(s) play again, whatever score they get counts. If for whatever reason the drawn player(s) are not present to play in the last pair, or being short of players wasn’t known at the start of the game: the player(s) with the two lowest scores can play again, as long as they don't score higher than their first score. If either of the players with the lowest scores are not on the alley for the last pair the next lowest scoring player(s) can play but they cannot score higher than the score of the person they are replacing.

Fixture Format: In both divisions, to lengthen the season, all teams will play each other home and away twice.

Other proposals, to become a one division league and for Division B to reduce to ten players a-side were rejected.
