Snooker Rules - what to do on the night of match (in light of nominating ball) who to contact, should we arrange a referee seminar where all Captains/someone from team must attend, or decide at AGM which rule catches teams out on night and set a ruling
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 36
All trophy winners are expected to collect them at the Annual Dinner. Team trophies should be collected by all team members, but if only one can be in attendance this will be accepted. Teams who are winners or runners-up in any knock-out competition who fail to collect their trophies will be denied entry to that competition in the following season, unless there is a genuine reason submitted in writing for the Committee to consider.
To:
36) Trophy Winners on presentation night -

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date set up for season 2025/26
A - Straight knock-out on Handicap matches no Handicap League (24 teams)
B - same as this season with Handicap League (24 teams)
C - if 25 to 28 teams no Handicap league (knockout rounds) - Premier (14) with 1 bye, Division 1 - 2 byes
D - if 25 teams no Handicap league (knockout rounds) - Division 1 being (12) no byes and later start to the season, this depends on clubs with more teams than tables, Downderry for example, and Premier will be under C
1 Extra week added this is the Top 16 Cup which is easier to get players on a Wednesday rather than pick another night, need to decide when to play it, as it is before Semi's start or in-between Semi's and Finals or in-between Finals and POTL
