Your Clubs Competition Rules

[duncan mackie]

Many thanks for this post, I do sometimes have a desire to lay down draconian rules the are set in stone, and forget that some people have lives and genuine reasons to want to change things. I think I need to word the rules in such a way it allows for the changing of times, as long as the person controlling the start times on the day has been given due warning.
Do you think this is fair?

Committee discretion can keep everything ticking over when issues crop up. I've seen more huge issues arrive when the rules are rigid - especially when the committee then decide to break their own rigid rules in an attempt to be 'fair'! It's an illusion to belive that rigid rules make life easier all the time.

At our meeting last night, it appears we have overall competition rules.

Oops...don't have. So I've copied people at our club in with those posted by rulesfan, with a few changes. The ladies seemed really keen about it, well they would, they are the organised ones at ours. The mens section? Well I've sent five of them an e mail with the draft rules thing. It will be interesting to see the response of both sections.
PS I'm apparently our Handicap sec as well, or so one of our senior members on the main committee thinks so. I've put him right on that one. How can you dump such a responsibility on someone who has no idea about how to do it? Not happening mate. So we don't have one. The Pro and computer will have to deal with it.

If that means you don't have a Handicap Committee, that won't do. See Clause 6.3 of the CONGU Manual:

The affiliated club must ......
6.3 Appoint a Handicap Committee comprised of a minimum of three persons, the majority of whom must be Members.

It can't just be left to the pro and the computer!

Last person that should be left with it and as you point out a requirement of an affiliated club to have a min of 3 pers running the handicaps.

We go for 2 men (to include 1 senior) 1 lady. The club captain and junior organiser are invited to attend any meetings and strongly encouraged to attend the annual review.

We have a Joint committee. But there are two sub committees, men's and ladies'. They organise the comps schedules, run the annual review, do any draws needed, close the comps and publish the results for their respective comps.
The joint committee have a formal meeting every 3 months and that comprises the Male Club Captain, the chairs of the sub c'ees, the pro (who is red hot on the rules and CONGU), occasionally the club manager (depending on the agenda) and me. Non rules or technical h'cap issues are dealt with by the joint committee. Rules and CONGU problems are left to me.

Tell me about it. The ladies comp sec keep on at me about this, as if it's now my problem. Last year there were a few lads nominated as the H/C comp, but by the sounds of things did nowt apart from get together for the annual review. Now they think I'm going to be doing it all. Not a chance. I'll try and form a committee from out of all the lads I know at the club, we only need two plus link up with the ladies section. I have a few ideas of who I may be able to drag into the mix, but it will take all my powers of persuasion.

One member has decided who should be on our various committees (he did this about two months ago) and now seems to think that's it...once he's decided who should be on each committee that's all that need to be done. no check to see it these people are meeting as these committees. It's a joke!!!!!
