League Make-Up Match Rules ?

[stevekur1]

Hey Guys,

I've had an ongoing delima on how to handle Make-Up Matches for my 14.1 League Seasons.

Currently i ask all players to get their matches played within a week of their cancelation or to play matches in advance if that works better, but as the season progresses the matches just keep stacking up. In the end i do keep track of who the person was that cancelled so if need be i will dish out the forfeit, but that can lead to foul play come the end with a player not wanting to spoil his/her own record or to lesson the chances of the opponent.

one of my league players suggested that the person that cancelled would get a 10 % or point adjustment in their handicap for that match, that also could lead to foul play.


What do you all think of possible rules i could put into play to solve this ongoing problem ?

Thanks In Advance
-Steve

If any matches get more than a week behind schedule you automatically lose any chance to claim any prize money you may be entitled too at the end of the session.

If you don't make stiff penalties players will always take advantage of a system. We all know how some pool players can be.

We have 24 players in our league and we are slowly learning ways to avoid the hassle players.

Thanks

Kevin
