After a exhaustive discussion regarding the end of season league cups , format, availability, locations etc. Some clarification and feedback from each team is required.
These cups will take place on Sunday 15th June Div A in Corner Pocket and Div B in Pennies ( I believe! )
The crux of the problem manifested itself as there are teams who cannot attend this date for various reasons.
Please be aware that the league could have been justified in imposing nonattendance fines on any team failing to fulfil this fixture but , common sense seems to have prevailed.
There will be "NO NON-ATTENDANCE FINES" for teams who can not get a team together for this end of season event.
All that is requested that all teams reply to this post before next Wednesday (21/5/14) giving there attendance status AND number of players they can muster for this event. Some teams have already expressed concerns regarding perhaps only getting say 5 or 6 players, given this is the 3rd Sunday in June that FDPL events will be played.
I believe the more information we, as individual teams can provide to the committee, will allow them to structure a day where the "attending players" benefit by getting the most amount of pool on that day.
I believe there are also presentations occurring on this day but as I don't know the exact details, I'd hope one of the online committee members will comment with a breakdown of each itinerary once they receive your feedback.
Please check with your teams availability and comment below.
Disclaimer: this is my interpretation of the events, if I'm incorrect in any of the above, please feel free to correct me.

Eddie,you are spot on with what you have said bud,pity teams are gonna miss out on the chance of a trophy,but this was never run like this before,the whole tourney on the 1 day,why wasn't these maybe played on Thursday nights with the 2 finals the last games of the season,is this being done like this because the presentation night last year was a poor turn out.dont get me wrong this could and probably will be a good event,just a sin teams are going to miss out

The wellie will be attending with a full team. These cups were asked for at the agm due to all the complaints about existing cups being boring as it was all the same format. Team reps agreed that this was an excellent idea, and these were all on the fixture list handed out at the registration meeting. My own take on this is that teams should have checked this out at the start of the season and noticed the date before arranging their end of season trips etc, however this was shot down at the meeting and it was agreed that no fine should be handed out this year for these cups.

As requested by the League Chairman on a Facebook post, for clarification, The Tavern will definitely be attending the Division A cup, in Corner Pocket on the 15th of June.
Has there been any definitive decisions made regarding, the Itinerary, Start times, format etc.
Thanks in Advance

Having talked it over with all available members of our team last night, it looks like the Crown will be unable to get enough players to attend this event.
I note that someone posted (might even have been on facebook) that it might be better if weekend events like this were played during the winter months - rather than in June.
I agree with this reasoning.
Regardless, it is certainly a poor choice of date with players expected to be playing pool 3 sundays in a row - singles, doubles and sunday cup.
