Matches for Weds 20th November are going ahead

 

UPDATE @ 12.15pm: the green has been cleared of yesterday's snow so the matches are going ahead tonight (Weds 20th Nov).

 

Last night’s matches (Tues 19th Nov) were postponed as a tyre came off the snowblower so the green couldn’t be cleared in time. The snowblower has now been fixed so we just need to allow time to see if the green can be cleared this morning. Further updates on tonight's matches will be issued as soon as possible when we see how things progress.

3 Jacks vs 2 Jacks - Clarification of Rule

 

To prevent any disputes we want to clarify what should happen when the match that starts with 3 jacks passes a jack to the match that starts with only 2.

Rule 6 (see link to Rules in the Home Page menu) reads:

If your match starts with 3 Jacks you must pass the Jack from the first singles game that finishes to the other match, to be used for a singles game. Each match will then keep hold of their own Jacks.

 

It doesn't matter if the first game in the match with only 1 singles jack finishes before both singles jacks in the other match, the first jack to finish from the match that started with 2 singles must still go across.
 
We accept that in this situation the match that started with 1 singles jack would now be onto their 3rd game but this AND their 2nd game are likely to have only just started. The match that started with 2 singles jacks would be fairly quickly onto their 3rd game anyway as soon as their 2nd jack finishes. The key point is that if the jack isn't passed over in this scenario, the match that started with 1 singles jack would only be on game 2, awaiting the end of the 2nd singles jack game in the other match, while that match would already be on game 3, which we think is unfair and why the rule was worded in this way.
 
There will be "winners" and losers" in terms of which match gets ahead of the other or finishes first, as it's the speed of the games that really dictate this. We've therefore tried to be fair by giving everyone the same number of matches starting with either 2 or 3 jacks across the season. We're finding in any case that there's not usually a massive gap between the end times of matches.
 
We're trying to give you all a simple rule to work to and avoid any disputes on the night as to who is having the next singles jack.
 
Of course, the pairs should continue to be considered separately and each match should always keep hold of their pairs jack until both pairs' games in the match are finished.
 
Thanks
Kevin & Ray
