Proposals for Season Two

As discussed after the final meeting of Season One, here are proposals for Season Two. These proposals were put forward, discussed and broadly agreed by all except Chris, who excused himself from this discussion, citing some issue with his mistress.

Bruce, Rob, Gary and Greg trust that these proposals will meet with Chris' approval.

In order of significance then, the proposals..


1. Best of Three
A new system of games/points is implemented, thus: a "match" would consist of consecutive games (to a maximum of three games) against the same opponent.  Two points are awarded for each victory in a match. A match is deemed complete if a player wins two-in-a-row in that match.


2. League Expansion
Other players are invited to join the TBL.


3. Doubles League
If the TBL can expand to include, ideally, an even number of players, such players will choose a doubles partner for the season, thereby allowing a Table Blades Doubles League to be formed. Time could be allocated in each meeting for these TBDL games or, conceivably, every second meeting can be devoted entirely to this Doubles League. Suggestions welcome. Whether this league adheres to the points system as laid out above is not yet confirmed. Again, suggestions welcome.


4. Trophies
TBL members contribute a small amount to purchase 2 trophies: one for the TBL Fun Cup, the other for the TBL Season League. Winner holds their trophy until defeated.


5. TBL Social Fund
Rob Kane suggested a rolling pot: that is, a pound or so from each player every week to build up a fund which would be splashed during a "night out" at the end of the year.


Fellow Bladers, your comments and /or your participations in the current poll, are invited and welcome.

And, of course, our congratulations go to the TBL Season One Champion, Mr Gary Little.

To deuce or beyond!
