Top Players: Simon has spent the time working through all the Winter rankings from the 2017/18 season, which is all we have access to, and compiled the top players list, this is made up from 51 teams and over 700 players. The lists can be accessed via this link
New Teams
We have now begun a recruitment drive where we will be seeking out new teams to enter the league, if anyone plays in another team or league, or if you know of any pubs/clubs looking for a pool team to join the FSPL please advise either James or Simon to discuss.
Frozen Balls: when a ball is frozen the ref should advise the player of this, the player must then play a legal shot where the frozen ball must hit a different cushion, or the white or any other ball can hit the cushion the object ball is frozen to for information please watch this video.
Nominating colours: when balls are close together or you go past a ball to pot another you need to nominate the colour, the Ref is not there to predict which ball you may be playing as they do not have the same view as you, failure to nominate will result in a loss of turn and the table remaining open; nomination should be called during an open table, this is not just from the break as it was in the old rules.
Coaching: any player deemed to have been coaching during a match will be given a first and final warning, any further coaching and a Standard Foul will be called and the player will be asked to leave the match and venue, if the player refuses to leave the venue then any further calling out will be deemed as coaching and result in a Standard Foul for every offence.
As we have had less issues in the last few weeks we do not need to continue reminding everyone of the rules, thank you to all Captains and Players.
