    9.     Proposals 2011

     

    1.  Proposal A) Jeremy Burns ... TRANSFER OF PLAYERS ... a player wishing to transfer from one club to another club can do so during the mixed season in play having first sought the approval of the League Secretary. However, that player can not transfer back to the club he, or she had left, or transfer again to another club.
     
    2.  Proposal B) Jeremy Burns ... TEAM WITHDRAWAL ... should a team need to withdraw, for whatever reason, during the Autumn season:-
    1) will automatically relegated to the next lowest division;
    2) will commence the Spring season with a 9 point penalty deduction for failing to honour their commitment to complete their Autumn fixtures;

    3) will not qualify for the play-off should they win the division they have been relegated to. 

    3.  Proposal C) Jeremy Burns ... AN ADDITION TO RULE 1 ... if a visiting team captain fails to notify the home team captain, prior to 24 hours before their match is due to be played, that they will not be turning up, and / or notify the home team captain that, for example, only two players will be eating. The home team captain can request the visiting team to make a payment to cover any costs incurred.
     
    4.  Proposal D) Jeremy Burns ... TEAM NO-SHOWS ... any team not playing either of the last two matches of the Autumn and Spring seasons can lead to an unfair advantage or dis-advantage to the other teams in their respective division. Therefore, all teams must play the last two matches of the Autumn and Spring seasons. Any team failing to honour this commitment will result in a 9 penalty point being levied at the start of the Spring season should the no-show occur in the Autumn. Alternatively, at the start of the next season should the no-show occur in the Spring season.
     
    5.  Proposal E) Jeremy Burns ... AN ADDITION TO RULE 4 ... a visiting team must have at least two players at the match venue prior to the match start time.
     
     
       
     
    6. Proposal F) Jeremy Burns… Rule 10 states "any team without a full complement of 5 players will be deemed to be without the lowest ranked player(s). Even if only 3 players are available the match should be played"
     

    Now I have been receiving a number of comments from players of clubs noticing that for example a team only puts out three players for a match but could have either drawn players down from a higher team or drawn up from a lower team in order to have a full compliment.

    Therefore, should players be drawn up / down, or leave it up to the teams to decide not to raise a full compliment of players as per Rule 10?

    7.  Proposer Phil Kelly…Can the the league could look at the rule regarding players only being allowed to move up or down one place. This is too restrictive and this shows with the amount of points being deducted from many clubs throughout the winter season. I personally think we should revert back to the old rule which allowed players to move up or down two places......in my opinion this worked better and was a rule that did not need changing.

    8.      Proposer Ruth Drysdale…I would like to take a vote on clarifying  '1 vote per team rather than 1 vote per club', since there isnt a club per sec membership, rather club pay enterance fee per team. So is it fair that a club can pay for 1 team and have the same voting rights as a club that pays for 14 teams to enter BAD? Also do squaded teams have 2 votes, as they are treated as separate clubs?

    9.  Proposer Mark Regan..Merger between BaD Squash and Avon SRA. For many reasons based around the sustainability of squash in BristoI would like to propose a merger between the BAD league and England squash/Avon Squash. I feel this will open opportunities for investment from ESR to which we currently do not have access and will  be of benefit to Bristol Squash as a whole.
