Summary of changes to Pennant By Laws effective 2010 Autumn Pennant


Captains and Players contact details
All Captains and players contacts details inclusive of Mobile number and Email addresses must be submitted with teams and added in the Matrix.



The changes made to the Pennant By Laws relate to Registrations; Reserves and Major Grade Rules:

3.    Registrations

3.2.11 Men players may play in the District Women’s competition, but a maximum of 2 men only per women’s team per round applies. These men may only be registered from #2 position down. Ladies teams must have minimum of 2 ladies playing on the night.
 
4.3    District Division Reserves

4.3.4     If a registered player has not played four (4) matches by Round 10 then a reserve cannot replace this player.

4.10    Major Grades

4.10.1   Matches shall commence no earlier than 7.00 pm and no later than 8.00 pm Monday to Friday. The first rubber must be nominated 10 minutes before the scheduled starting time.
4.10.2   Scoring: Premier Grade Mens matches are played under the PAR to 11 point scoring system. All other Pennant Grades are played under the PAR to 15 point scoring system. For NSW Squash tournament matches, the PAR to 11 point scoring system will apply.
4.10.3   All Captains and players contacts details inclusive of Mobile number and Email addresses must be submitted with teams registration and included in the Matrix system.
4.10.4   Interstate players may be registered in the Major Grades, with the permission of the Pennant Administrator before registration.

4.10.5   One male player only with a Matrix rating of 250 and below may be registered in a Women’s Premier Team.
4.10.6   Only one male player may play in a Women’s Major Grades team on any given match night.
4.10.7   In Major Grades a player may play in one rubber only in the same match.

4.10.8   Women’s Premier (3 person teams): The winning team is the team which at the end of three (3) matches wins the most games. If the games are equal, the outcome will be determined by the team which has won the most rubbers.

4.10.9   Reserves for Major Grades may be taken from grades above or below as long as the matrix rating is equal or below the player they are replacing. Major Grade Players cannot play across teams.
  This rule applies to Round matches only. (refer By-Law 4.10.11 for Final and Grand Final Reserve requests).
4.10.10 To be eligible to play in Final and Grand Finals a player must have played eight (8) matches for Men’s Premier and six (6) matches for Women’s Major, Sydney 1 and 2 Men’s Grades.
4.10.11 For Final and Grand Final matches, only original registered team members are eligible unless written authorisation is obtained from the Administrator. All reserves for both the Final and Grand Final matches must be requested in writing and approved by the Pennant Administrator. The reserve’s matrix must be equal to or lower than the lowest qualified registered player in the team. The reserve will come in at the lowest position in right matrix order so the team is not strengthened.

4.10.12 In all Mens Premier League Final and Grand Final matches the No 1 players shall play the second rubber. The winner of the toss shall decide who plays first and the loser of the toss shall decide who plays third.
