Player Eligibility
Players must have played at least three league fixtures for their current registered team in
the 19/20 season before they can play in the competition. Players can be issued a handicap
number once they have played the qualifying number of fixtures. Any team playing an
ineligible player will forfeit all matches in which he/she played.
Substitutions
Substitutes will be allowed from any division providing they have a handicap and are eligible
to play, but teams wishing to field a sub MUST contact the opposing team captain on all counts
of playing a sub to gain permission for them to play (not just players from a higher division).
This rule is intended to prevent the shield becoming a Bidmead-type event. Players may sub
twice only in the competition, and these substitutions will not count in the league.
Two-player Teams
If a team only has two players divide the sum of the two handicaps by two to get the team
handicap. Each match against the 'dummy' 3rd player will end 44-0. If both teams have two players the
match between the 'dummy' players will end 0-0. One-player teams are not permitted.
