Code of Conduct

In the event of a team being expelled from the League or voluntarily withdrawing from the League all match results involving such a team will be classified as VOID. The Secretary (or in his absence the Assistant Secretary), in such instances, will amend the League Tables, etc., as necessary. Thus, in instances of voluntarily withdrawing we advise to aim to replace players to keep the league in good standing. Contact us directly as we are likely to have players waiting on standby to join.
•   Any player barred from 2 pubs or more should not be allowed to play in the league.
•   While team members and supporters may give encouragement to the players, they will not be permitted to give technical advice (e.g. which ball to play first or the best way out of a snooker, etc.). In such cases the Referee can award the frame to the opposing team.
•   Players should refrain from using insulting remarks (including sexually) or bad language during matches. Any complaints should be sent to the Secretary.
•   It will be the responsibility of the Captain to ensure that their team and supporters behave in a proper manner during the evening that matches are being played. All players should conduct themselves properly. The Officers and Captains (excluding those from the teams involved) will take appropriate action when necessary.
•   No betting or illegal drug use is allowed. Any complaints made to the Officers and Captains will be reviewed and appropriate action taken.
•   No abuse of the Referee at tournaments must occur. Should any abuse occur the Officers and Captains will decide what action is taken.
•   The Referee’s decision is final.
•   In cases of a disagreement over a Referee’s decision or the conduct of a match, an Appeals Panel will be convened by the Secretary. The Members of the Panel will not be connected with either team involved in the disagreement.

This Code of Conduct was adopted by the Annual General Meeting held on 11/1/2023 and is subject to review on an annual basis at the AGM.
