NEW COMPETITION FOR SEASON 2012/13
 I am proposing to run a

"Worcester Premier League"
 
next season and need players to sign up for this competition as soon as possible ...

 The League, subject to numbers, will be an individual entry (not a team event) and will be split into groups of 8, each player playing the others in his group on a home and away basis, each match being played over 4 frames.

Scoring will be confirmed closer the time but will consist of 1 point per frame + 1 point for winning the night + 1 Bonus Point for each 50 Break.

Match dates will be arranged and players will have a week in which to play the fixture

The competition will NOT be handicapped

At the end of the Group Stage, Quarters, Semi's and a Final will take place over 5  frames (7 for the final)

There will be an entry fee which will be paid out in Winners and Runners Up Cash prizes.

It is with great regret, that Team Captain Roger Horton has been left with no alternative but to withdraw his team from this seasons Snooker League and Competitions.

All of the teams matches played so far, will become null and void.

It's a sad day for the league but the Committee would like to thank Roger for his efforts, on and off the green baize.
