NDBSA Captains

NDBSA team captains are vital to the smooth running of NDBSA interclub competitions by:

  • Organising teams each week to venue & start times.
  • Ensuring players handicaps are correct prior to play.
  • When at home drawing order of play – when the away captain, witnessing draw.
  • Ensuring next player is ready to play as soon as a table becomes vacant.
  • Recording scores, signing off on results and submitting to Grade Secretary each week.
  • Advocating for their team members when there is rules dispute.
  • Speaking for their team members who have requests of the other team captain i.e. Request to play first, expecting to arrive late

Without team captains there would be chaos… For this reason it is important that team captains are aware of these roles and if they are not in attendance for any competition night they assign an interim captain for the night who is aware of the above duties.

Changes to substitution rules in Tony Tamplin Shield

The issue of the 2 match substitution rule was discussed at the 2016 AGM and due to the longer Tony Tamplin season, extending the 2 matches per comp to 4 matches for a team substituting was voted in by the NDBSA members. So in the 2016 Tony Tamplin Shield a team can borrow another member from a local club’s other team up to 4 times per season per player. If a player is borrowed 5 times they are automatically transferred to that team.
