These group games MUST be played by Sunday 2nd August. Before the season, clubs must advise the V.S. Secretary (Rob Green) of their fixtures. During the season, clubs must advise V.S.Sec of their results. CLUBS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THEIR OWN RESULTS ARE SUBMITTED. Winners and runners-up in each group will qualify for the Semi-Finals (to be played on Sunday 9th August). Semi-Finals winners will qualify for the Final (to be played on Saturday 15th August). Venues for the Semis and Final will be confirmed before the start of the season, with the following pencilled in - Semi-Finals @ Springfield and Finals at Ealing Central Clubs are reminded that the Victory Shield is a fully mixed competition now. 3-2-1 After promotion/relegation, the following are the divisions for the 2020 3-2-1: Division 1 - Brentham, Ealing Central, Featherstone, Isleworth, Springfield Division 2 - Gunnersbury Park (**), North Greenford, Pitshanger, West Ealing, West London Clubs must arrange home and away fixtures against the other clubs in their division. These can be played at any time during the season (obviously evening games are more tricky in September owing to light). Before the season, clubs must advise League Sec (Rob Green) of their fixtures. During the season must notify League Sec of their results. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH CLUB TO ENSURE THEIR RESULTS ARE SUBMITTED. Clubs are reminded that the 3-2-1 is essentially an men's competition, but a woman can be included in an emergency, but must play lead in the Triple (this is to mirror the rule in the women's Monday Night League). Clubs are further reminded that in the event of one (or both) of the teams being short on the day, only one element can be played with reduced numbers - if you are one player, short concede the singles; two players, concede the pairs; three players, concede the triples; more than three short would not constitute a game. In all cases, the points are conceded but no shots. This assumes the opponents have a full team. Failure to implement the above will result in the outcome being voided and clubs having to replay the fixture (or if this is not possible owing to the date, the defaulting side conceding the full 8 points). Monday Night League It is expected that Ealing Central will rejoin the MNL for 2020. Details of fixtures, etc, will be available closer to the new season. Competitions Semi Finals will be played on Sun.13th Sept at Brentham and Finals on Sun.20th Sept at West Ealing. Comments are closed.
