WEDNESDAY PAIRS DIVISIONS
CHRISTMAS HANDICAP ROUND ROBIN 2024
AN ANNUAL EVENT WHICH 'EVERY' TEAM IN OUR LEAGUE PARTICIAPTES WITHIN, MEANING 'NO' ONE BOWLER IS LEFT OUT.
WE HAD OVER 90 BOWLERS WHO PLAYED IN THIS YEAR'S EVENT AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE ALL GOT PRIZEMONEY !!
OUR HANDICAPPING SYSTEM WAS BASED ON THE LEAGUE POSITIONS AT THE TIME THIS EVENT TOOK PLACE
EACH DIVISION HAD 10 TEAMS IN, AND WE SPIT THE DIVISIONS INTO TWO SETS OF FIVE TEAMS, WITH THE TOP IN EACH OFF ZERO GIVING SHOTS TO ALL BELOW
WE STARTED AT 10.30 AND FINISHED AS THE RAINS CAME JUST AFTER 4PM.
RESULTS OF EACH SECTION WERE;
DIVISION ONE TOP FIVE;............WINNERS; ONE TICK RUNNERS UP; THE CAMMELLS
DIVISION ONE BOT FIVE;............WINNERS; PS DELL RUNNERS UP; UPSTARTS
DIVISION TWO TOP FIVE;...........WINNERS; MEOLS BELTERS RUNNERS UP; MEOLS BELLS
DIVISION TWO BOT FIVE;...........WINNERS; WOOD END TOPS RUNNERS UP; HESWALL BELLES
HANDICAPPING IS NEVER EASY TO HAVE EVERYONE AGREE WITH BUT IF THIS WAS WITH NO HANDICAP THEN WE MIGHT AS WELL JUST GIVE THE BEST TEAMS THE PRIZEMONEY AND NOT PLAY THE EVENT, THIS IS SILLY AS IN HANDICAPPING EVERY TEAM HAS A CHANCE TO WIN IT.
IN THE ABOVE RESULTS THE TOP TEAM IN THE TOP DIVISION WON IT OFF ZERO PROVING THIS THEORY AS 'ONE TICK' JUST 'ROLLED' THEIR SLEEVES UP AND GOT ON WITH IT AND 'THE CAMMELLS' CAME SECOND WITH THEM BEING IN BOTTOM 5th PLACE, SO HANDICAPPING IS NEEDED TO BE ACCEPTED IN A ONE OFF EVENT.
SO LOOKING AT THE RESULTS ABOVE 4 OF THE 5th PLACE TEAMS ALL GOT PRIZEMONEY WITH TWO 4th PLACE TEAMS WINNING THEIR SECTIONS AND A 3rd PLACE TEAM (PS DELL) WINING THE OTHER SECTION, EVERYONE GOT MINCE PIES AND INDEED PRIZE MONEY TO USE OVER CHRISTMAS !!
THIS SAME FORMAT WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT MONDAY 23rd IN OUR VETS LEAGUE WHICH HAS 12 TEAMS IN IT.
OUR LEAGUE STARTS AGAIN ON TH 8th JANUARY ENJOY THIS CHRISTMAS TIME FOLKS.
SATURDAY PAIRS COMPS AT TIXALL BC
THE FUSARIUM PROBLEM
OUR NEW GREENKEEPER HAS DISCOVERED OUR GREEN HAS BEEN INFECTED BY FUSARIUM DUE TO TOO MUCH NITROGEN
BEING PUT ON IT THROUGH THE SUMMER TIME, WHICH I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT WAS.
HE TELLS US THIS CAN SPREAD BY PEOPLE WALKING ON IT OR IT BEING CUT BY THE LAWN MOWER & THAT SPREADING IT,
MEANING THE GREEN IS SHUT FOR AROUND TWO WEEKS.
OBVIOUSLY THE GREEN IS FIRST PRIORITY FOR THE CLUB AND WE WHO ENJOY IT, DO NOT WISH TO RUIN IT BY OUR SPREADING OF THIS PROBLEM.
SO OUR GREENKEEPER HAS ASSURED ME, WE CAN PLAY IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS TIME IF CONDITIONS ARE DRY AND HIS TREATMENT IS WORKING, WHICH WE WILL POST IT ON HERE FOLKS.
IT PRESENTLY LOOKS LIKE WE COULD PLAY ON THE 28th DECEMBER FOR OUR NEXT ONE DAY EVENT, BUT OUR GREENKEEPER TELLS US WHEN WE CAN.
LIKE ME MANY HAVE NOW GOT TO UNDERSTAND A GREENKEEPING WORD OF FUSARIUM TO OUR VOCABULARY & WE NOW KNOW HOW IT HAS COME.
THIS NEW ONE-DAY PAIRS EVENT IS OPEN TO ALL WHO WISH TO PLAY IN IT
THROUGH THE REGISTRATION WE HAVE IN PLACE

THAT IS FINE, IF THAT PLAYER IS FROM A HIGHER DIVISION THEN THE GAME
THEY PLAY THEY HAVE TO GIVE OPPONENT A 5 START
IF A TEAM TEAM GETS A PLAYER FROM A LOWER DIVISION THEN THIS IS FINE AND NO START IS GIVEN.
T
IF A TEAM PLAYS A PLAYER TWICE BECAUSE THEY CAN GET NO ONE THEN IN THIS GAME
THEY HAVE TO GIVE A 5 START ALSO.
