Important Notes:
- Entry is on a first-come, first-served basis.
- If you enter, please make every effort to play as many league matches as possible. While playing all your matches is not mandatory, your chances of winning your league increase with every match played and won.
- To register, send an email with your name and official GC handicap to km_wood@hotmail.co.uk or add your details to the sign-up sheet in the Clubhouse.
Please also note that, in line with club winter rules, NO JUMP SHOTS ARE ALLOWED to avoid damaging the greens. If a deliberate jump shot is played, it will be treated as a fault and all balls will be replaced and any hoops run will be cancelled.
Winter League 2024/2025 – Rules
- Players must have an official GC handicap.
- Players are expected to arrange their own matches at mutually convenient times, booking courts in advance. Be prepared to double-bank, using secondary colours if necessary.
- All matches will be singles, played off handicap under the Advantage Play rules. For those who are not familiar with it there’s a page here that explains them. The first player to start will be determined by a coin toss. .
- Each match will be best of three games and will not affect your handicap.
- Results must be recorded on the league sheets in the Clubhouse and emailed to cccresults@gmail.com. Please write your score first (e.g., a 7-5 win would be recorded as 7-5; a loss as 5-7).
- League matches must be completed by 15th February with the draw for the knockout stage taking place on Sunday, 16th February, to allow time for the knockout stage. You do not have to complete all your league matches before then, but please try to play as many as you can.
Knockout Stage:
- The top two players from each league will advance to the knockout phase. In the event of a tie, standings will be determined by the number of games won, and if still tied, by net hoops. Marilyn will handle the calculations, so it is essential that all scores are recorded accurately.
- Quarterfinals: The league winner will face the runner-up of another league.
- Semifinals: The four winners of the quarterfinals will advance.
- Final: The two semifinal winners will compete for the title of Winter League Champion.
