Structure of the third league competition.
John Walker reported that all the players tentatively identified as thirds for 2002/3 wished to skip in the third league.
Following discussion of various options, it was decided that skips from the first two leagues would move to second.
This structure to be automatically reviewed in the annual AGM review of all competition structures.
Seeding, rink positions and drawing rinks for 2002/3:
A simple seeding structure was agreed.
In the Autumn and Winter leagues only:
Otherwise the draw to be random with no seeding to operate in the John Martin competition and the Spring league.
Two players were allocated to rotate between third and skip in competitions. Three players were allocated to rotate between lead and second, two at second and one at lead in any competition + see above for seeding arrangements.
The draw was then made on a random basis with the only alterations when the same players in a rink by fluke were redrawn together in another competition - as instructed at the AGM. The draw follows on a separate sheet:
