Winter 10 plus Competition

Results to date

Surbiton CC - Winter Competition Rules 2015/16

  1. Weather permitting, the competition takes place every Wednesday, starting when the lawns become available after the autumn maintenance and finishing just before Easter.

  2. Games will be handicapped 14 point association, with a 1 hr 30 min time limit and the competition will be open to all members with an association handicap of 10 or greater when they first play. Members should record the results of their games on their handicap cards as usual. A member whose handicap subsequently falls below 10 continues to be eligible (playing off his new handicap). Weekly results will be published on the SCC website.

  3. Normally games will start at 11 am, with second games arranged from around 1 pm. In February or March, third games are generally possible.

  4. Members are free to play as little or as often as they wish, simply turning up in good time to start at either 11am or 1 pm. To win the competition however, they will need to complete a minimum number of games before the final day -probably about one-sixth of the total games played: this will be confirmed at the end of February..

  5. All games will be arranged by the organiser who will, as far as possible, provide everyone with an even spread of opponents.

  6. The final will be played on the penultimate and last Wednesdays of the competition and will be contested by the four players who, being available to play, have at that stage the highest win percentage (games won/games played) and who have played the minimum number of games at that point. Six games will be played, if necessary, on the final two days: 1st v 4th, 2nd v 3rd; 1st v 3rd, 2nd v 4th; 1st v 2nd, 3rd v 4th. Those not in the top four will still get a game on the final two days, but this will not count towards the competition.

  7. The competition will be won by the player, who has the highest overall win percentage after the ‘final day’ results have been included. On 'final day' everyone not playing in the final will have the opportunity to take part in a one-ball competition.

  8. If no play is possible on ‘final day’, the competition will be decided on the results to date.

  9. If prior to ‘final day’ a player establishes such a lead that he cannot be caught, he will be declared the winner, and the organiser will arrange a separate one-off tournament for ‘final day’.

In the event of inclement weather (for example, if the lawns may be frozen or waterlogged), an email will be sent by 9.00am on Wednesdays to those who have previously attended, so please check before you leave home if you have any distance to travel.

If you want to come along on a Wednesday to practice or to play a pre-arranged game rather than compete for the trophy please appreciate that lawn space may be a problem on the busiest days.
