Pick a convenient night of the week on which the league would compete.

Here some of the problems that the league will experience
during the league season and the solutions to resolve these problems. |
| |
|
Teams that do show up
| |
They forfeit the match and pay the other team weekly fees and lose all the
rounds points. Individuals will not be credited for these games (win, loss,
& points)but the team will receive their average. |
Teams or players that do not pay the proper weekly fees dues.
| |
Penalize each team certain amount of money such as $5.00 weekly penalty
until they pay. |
Teams that sign up, but never start.
| |
Drop them off the schedule and try to replace with another team |
Teams that threaten to quit over a protest
| |
Apply the rules that you have written in your league by-laws or the league
rules. If the incident is not covered in your rules then have team captain and
the league officers meeting to discuss the matter and decide on the best
solution for the league. |
Teams are "too good" for the rest of the league.
| |
Make sure you adjust the
handicapping
system after the session is over, but do not change in the middle of the
season. Make sure all players are aware of the changes for the next
session. |
