LEAGUE PLAY

All matches start at 7:00pm, (real-time, not bar-time) There is a 15 minute grace period. By the end of that grace period, you must have 3 regular players to start the match, or a forfeit can be called. A player has until the end of the 1^st round to show up and play all their games. If a player shows up in the 2^nd round, as long as their game has not been passed, they can play that game but not make up the first round.

BELL MUSIC FEES & SCORESHEET

The WEEKLY FEES are $10 per player so $50 is due from each team each week. Only full weekly dues should be submitted. Partial payments will be treated as late payments. Payments are due by noon each Monday for the previous Thursday.

No money envelopes!! Payment of league dues will be made electronically via PayPal or emailed invoice. See separate document in your team packets for complete details and instructions. Each team is only responsible for handling their team’s dues. You do not have to handle the other team’s money.

The home team captain is responsible for making sure the scores from the match are sent in. Take a clear picture of the scoresheet and email, fax or text it to Bell Music by noon each Monday. (It does not have to be the home team captain that turns in the scores but the home team captain is responsible for making sure it gets done.)

Take a picture of your scoresheet and text it to: 330-714-7550 or ktaylor@bellmusicco.com

Fax: 330-376-6337

Email: ktaylor@bellmusicco.com

Make sure you keep your copy of the scoresheet at least until after you see the scores have been posted. After that, it's up to you if you want to keep them or not.

You do not need to write on the scoresheet who is paying and who isn't. If you want to for your own records you can but we track by team and require that the full amount be paid each week.

Penalties for not turning in scoresheet or money by deadline:

1st Offense: Team will receive a warning. Scoresheet must be turned in and league dues must be paid before team may play next match.

ADDITIONAL BELL MUSIC RULES

1) Any team not finishing the session will forfeit all prize money.

2) Team captains are responsible for making sure scoresheets are properly filled out with League name, Team name, Date, and Players full names. Any mathematical errors on the scoresheet are corrected by the computer and will be the score that stands.

3) The Elite Division may play as many AA and Masters in a match as they wish. There are no AA or Masters allowed to play in the Gold, Silver or Bronze leagues.

4) No new subs or players the last 4 weeks of the season; in order for a player to play on your team the last 4 weeks, they must have played on your team at least 1 week already. Subs may play on any team they wish until they have played on the same team 9 times; they are then locked into that team and may not play for any other Thursday Stark Co. team.

5) If a player needs to leave early (work, sick, emergency) the opposing captain will let that player play out. If this occurs, try to play a game in between each of their games, if possible. You can not put another player in that spot. Only players that start the match may finish the match..

6) There is no coaching allowed.

7) The most current news and information for the leagues will be posted on our website: www.bellmusicco.com. The standings, rulebooks, information on the State tournament, etc will all be updated there. You may also use CompuSport to view your standings and to get important updates. Make sure you "Follow" yourself to receive mobile notifications.

8) Any team and/or player who has an urgent question or problem during league play can call Bell Music at (330) 253-9171. A message must be left in the pool department mailbox (Option 3) so I can return your call. Please only call if you've looked in your rulebook and can't find the answer or you've tried to resolve the issue amongst yourselves and can't find a solution.

I'm looking forward to a great season. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
