Rules for the Herts Cup
• The cup competition is linked to the league and will be governed by the same team restrictions as the league.

• The teams for the cup should be made up from your normal league teams in the same nominated order.

• All players listed for the club are eligible to play for a team, no lower than the team that they have been nominated for.

• The games will be played up to 15 PAR scoring in all Divisions, best of 5 games per match.

• Players may play for a higher team, but must not play in a lower team. If a player does play for a higher team this will not count as far as the league is concerned and players will still be able to play 3 matches for a higher team in the league before being committed to that team.

• In the case where there is more than 1 team in a division, the players can only play for the team they are nominated to play for and cannot be used as a substitute for the other team.

• The games should be played during the week of the date indicated for the round, i.e. the 1st round is 11th Nov and so the games should be completed by the end of that week.

• The team listed higher shall be deemed to be the "home" side.

• The responsibility should be on the home team to make contact with their opposition so that a suitable venue and date can be set. All costs for the evening are to be split between the 2 teams.

• A minimum of 2 attempts to contact the away team should be made by the home team; failure to make any contact will result in the match being forfeited by the HOME team.

• After 2 bone fide attempts of the home team captain contacting the away team captain, then the responsibility of contacting and organising should fall on the away team captain and failure to make any arrangements will result in the match being forfeited by the AWAY team.

• Any concerns should be addressed to the committee who will endeavour to resolve any issues and will try to ensure fair play.

• We now have online scoring via the Tournament Tab on the Ninenil League webpages
