just saying if we play each other 3 times at snooker and 2 twice at billiards will have 30 matches in total 30 weeks 30 thursdays in total
can it be done

You wouldn't; you would have 21 weeks of snooker and 14 weeks of billiards. There is an odd number of teams and someone will always have to sit out.

its all well and good discussing all this on the site, but you need to put your ideas to the league a.s.a.p. and try to get something sorted out before its to late.... most people who play in the league are probably oblivious to the fact that anything has changed from last season. so what i suggest is that someone ( mark) gets the bull by the horns and start putting these ideas forward, as time is running out ! !

ok so thats 35 weeks maximum....but you forget we used to play first 2 matches tue and thurs sept start and jan start so that would reduce maximum weeks to 31........using old format so season could start 1st sept or 8th sept to give you bit more time to do fixtures laminated and we would still finish mid april at the latest... need any help to do fixtures let me know

Take two or three weeks out for Christmas and you're suddenly creeping towards the end of May and that's without the KO finals.

Why snooker though? Why not billiards?

Also, what about Prestwich Cons for those two weeks? They have matches in the Bury League.

Looks ok to me unless Mark finds something wrong that we cant see!!

Are we still having 5 man teams in both leagues for billiards?

And is all the clubs got a 2nd team for billiards.

I'll ask again - why extra snooker rather than billiards?

BECAUSE MOST OF US IN THIS LEAGUE want to play snooker...not billiards..IS THAT A PROBLEM...billiards is dragging this league into extinction....



ANYWAY ARE THE FIXTURES OK

they encompass last seasons extra games more simplified..easier and better

Think you're nitpicking a bit now Mark!
Dont always agree with Dave but think he's got it right this time and he is taking the initiative so lets get together and get it sorted before its too late. Season will be on us before too long.

Thought I heard that they changed it at last AGM. So Westy told me!

It was 4 man for div 2, 5 for cup.

5 man for Div 2 next year, cup was not clarified.

As for an official decision, try Dave Darlington. Last I heard, hurricane was at the same meeting as me and I didn't hear any of these ideas then.
