TEAM GUIDANCE...
It’s always nice to welcome new teams to our league. We pride ourselves on running the league in a friendly way, but we do have rules in place to make sure things are fair to everyone. To assist you in understanding what is required from you, please see below for some items to guide you in the right direction.
• Only players who are signed on can participate in matches. Hopefully you have kept a copy of your submitted entry form which shows who you have signed on. But don’t worry if not. If you visit our website, and go to the individual page of each team, you will see the full list of players who are signed on. You can sign additional players on throughout the season, but you must let me know! Just email or text me with the full names of any new players. This is vital. As a friendly warning, we have previously ejected a side who consistently played ineligible players. Rules are rules. I am very flexible, but it’s down to you to communicate with me.
• As the home side, you are expected to provide the following:
o A clean, freshly painted doll
o A clean scoreboard, with players names clearly written on it by both teams, which will be the throwing order clearly displayed.
o A throw, correctly lighted, available for practice from 20:00 – no diners sitting on tables in the way!
o A scorecard – filled in first by your captain and then passed to the opposition captain to fill in. The home side should then complete the card as the match progresses. BOTH captains should sign
the card at the end of the match. This should of course be the same as the scoreboard.
o Some post-match nibbles – all players like a bit of hot food following a match!
o Take a picture and send in the card. The winning captain is technically responsible for sending the card to me. However, if you have someone who drives past my house then arrange for them to
deliver it. Send me a picture on the night so that I can get ahead of things. But the result is only official when I have the hard copy on my desk.
I NEED THE HARD COPY ASAP!
• Keep an eye on the website!
This is updated every week, and you will find all the important information on it
Welcome Letter...
II've sent out a copy of the below letter to everyone in the welcome packs but thought I'd also post it on here for all to see.
Dear Team,
Welcome back! I and the rest of the committee would like to thank all venues, teams & players for signing up to play in our league. We’ve managed to get the desired 20 teams again and we welcome the White Horse, Stonesfield into our league for the first time. They are new to the world of aunt sally so please help them out on what needs to happen while they get into the swing of things.
We’ve had a close look at the fixture schedule and have made the decision to start our season a week earlier than normal. This enables us to play almost everything on Thursday nights, which we know is a preference to all. As always, we feel we have produced a competitive handicap grading which should give all teams the chance of victory. Don’t forget, the handicap system is only there to be an assistance and the emphasis still being on players hitting the doll, which is surely the way it should be. The handicaps are based on the players which you have entered on your team sheets and their averages from the 2025 season. If you have any questions on this then feel free to get in touch, but I think you’ll find that our facts & figures are correct! You are still able to sign on more players after the season starts but be warned this could change your handicap.
Competitions are again FREE to enter, so please get your names down on the Competition Entry Forms and send them in. You will notice that the date for the Preliminary Round of the Knockout & Supplementary Cups is scheduled for Sunday 28h June. This doesn’t mean that you must play the match on the Sunday, it just means that the match must be played by that date. If you are drawn in the Prelim Round and don’t want to play on the Sunday, just contact the opposition captain and arrange a new date. Just as an example, in previous years when my side has played in the Prelim, we have played a ‘Double Header’ against our opponents on the Thursday when our league fixture was being played. More info about the other competitions will be released in due course.
The scorecard design is the same as before, so can all captains please make sure these are filled in correctly and neatly. These scorecards need to be sent in ASAP so that I can keep the website updated, which is very time consuming. Ideally, take a picture of the completed card (NOT the chalkboard!) and send me a picture of it after the match. Don’t forget I still require the hard copies of the scorecards to be delivered. The website only gets updated with your match details AFTER the hard copy has been received. Don’t forget, the rules clearly state that if result cards are not sent in then an 8-2 score will be awarded to the non-offending team! I will keep the website as up to date as possible and hopefully I can find some time for my weekly reports, but to do this I must have the hard copies of the scorecards so get them to me ASAP please. All information and updates will be published on the home page, so make sure you keep an eye out and check it regularly.
Good luck everyone

THE WYCHWOOD RECORD SCORE HAS BEEN...
Tied!!!
Step forwards Steve England. What a performance!
Playing at home for Charlbury on the 9th May 2024, Steve managed to hit the small matter of 6,5,5,6,6 to come in with a nightly
total of 28 dolls. For those of you who can remember, Rob Bradford set the highest score back in 2022, which we thought would stand alone for many years. However, Steve has joined him on that total
after this effort.
This score won't get beaten........... or maybe it will???
Really well done Steve
