News & Events

This weeks handicap review is now complete, you can view by clicking on handicaps from the drop down menu.
New handicaps come into force from Monday 22nd September.
On a separate note can you please take extra care submitting results as I need to spend time chasing round to rectify.
As a consequence some players profiles do not show their correct statistics and need to be amended by the website designer.

Can ALL teams take note once again please, that the WHITE CUE BALL should NOT be lighter, smaller or lighter and smaller, than the other snooker balls in a set.
Even taking into account the official tolerances from the WPBSA rules, in size (+/-0.05mm), weight (3 grammes / 1/10 of an oz), or even both, there should be NO noticable differance.
Therefore, can those teams who know they have light, small whites, or both, please replace them; and, for those teams who are NOT aware, please don't be offended if you are asked to do so!
SINGLE WHITE CUE BALLS can be purchased at most local suppliers or on line at slender cost.
Light / small white cue balls, can for instance make a total mockery of the handicap system, which many of you religiously swear by!

The first handicap review of the new season has been done and can be viewed by clicking on handicaps from the drop down menu.
New handicaps come into force from Monday 13th September.

Sadly we have had the Northern Snooker (A) team withdraw from the B division before a ball has been potted. Can all captains in the B division note that there is now a bye in that division.

For the start of the new season this coming Wednesday 3rd September, LEAGUE RULES as amended at the AGM on the 14th July are now posted on the website - go to "About Us / Documents".
HOME CAPTAIN's should pay particular attention to NEW RULE 19b, which now puts the onus on them to submit their teams result on the website by 6pm on SATURDAY (NOT SUNDAY).

On behalf of the LBSO, I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome LEE GRIMES on board the Management Committee. Lee has kindly volunteered to take on the task of Competition Secretary this season at least, so you will be hearing from him soon.

Just to clarify then, the make up of the Committee currently is as follows-:
President - Chris Williamson
Chairman - Rodney Sims
Vice-Chairman Andy Taffinder
League Secretary - Paul Grimes
Competition Secretary - Lee Grimes
General Secretary & Treasurer - Bob Patterson.

Good luck and good cuing to all!!
