Match Cards

You will no longer be required to send in a match card. All results will be entered on the web site, essentially as is done at the moment, but with the changes shown below.

This does not mean, however, that match cards will be no longer be used. The single card currently used will be replaced with the "duplicate" cards currently used for the Summer Surrey Cup leagues.

In this way, a signed copy of the match result can be kept by both teams, either to use for entering results or checking the result posted on the web site by the opposing team. In addition, both sides then have a signed copy in case of problems or dispute.

	What if we don't have a computer connected to the internet? Hmm... so how are you viewing this, then? And no one in your team does any online banking, online shopping, receive emails or look at the internet in any way? Well, if this is the case, then you must contact the Surrey Cup administrators, and you will send in your match cards as usual to the relevant coordinator.

Nominations

Allowing clubs to renominate teams whenever they like, along with not receiving match cards, makes the process of checking players and nominated orders almost impossible.

Only two nominations will now be allowed - one at the start of the leagues and one at the half way point. The concept of ad hoc renominations will be dropped.

	If someone new joins our club, can we still add them? No. Once you have entered your nominations at the beginning of the league, a new member must wait until the nominations for the second half before they can play, and if they join after the second half nominations are entered, then they cannot play at all.

Team nominations will be entered directly onto the web site by the club. Once done, the nominations will be "locked" by an administrator just before the first match of each half and cannot be altered.

	What if we don't have a computer connected to the internet? Simply mail the nomination list to the league organiser and it will be put on the web site for you.

Match Entry

All players are now entered from drop-down lists populated from the nomination list.

This has four main advantages:

	Since each player is selected from a list, there should be no confusion over names. Each player is shown with their nomination order, thus making it clear that the correct order has been used. Since each player is always entered the same way, pages can be added to the web site to show player statistics, something many of you have asked for. Rule logic can be applied on the web site to alert teams to incorrect playing order etc.

Team Contact Information

In future, email alerts will be sent to team contacts advising them of results entry status. A Team Contact must be entered, with an email address, on the normal Team Contact page.
