Scotch Doubles RULES

All players who are playing in the Scotch Doubles Competition (1st & 2nd Round to be played Sunday 30th June 2019) must read the following rules please

1. The Break

a. Toss of coin will determine alternate breaks frames 1&2. If the match goes to a deciding 3rd frame, then toss of coin will again decide who breaks. (Normally the call is to the opposite player of who called in he 1st frame)

b. When breaking, a player who pots a ball legally. can consult with their partner to decide which nominated ball they wish to play. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME PLAYERS CAN DISCUSS THEIR SHOT during a visit.

c. Throughout a visit, there must be no coaching and no talking between the players at the table. The player can only ask the referee for rule enquiries only. Players who break these rules will be served a “serious foul” which will result in loss of frame. 

Can all players at the venues please share the refereeing duties and play within the spirit of the game. 

The winning doubles are to send the complete results to the league secretary - Dave Whitfield
