One small change was agreed to the playing conditions Rule 7 for cup and plate matches.
Current wording: Where games are drawn 2-2, the result shall be determined by points countback.
If teams are still level, the winning team shall be the away team.
To which will be added: Except if the match is listed to be played at a neutral venue (for example final & semi-finals), or if both teams play at the same venue.
One single additional end of 4 players (two per team) with 12 boules (3 per player) shall be played.
Teams must use a pair from the most recent set of final two games and cannot be mixed.
Coin flips are used to determine the following. Which piste shall be used. Which end of the piste to throw from. Which team throws first.
The team which wins the end, wins the tie. In the event of a ‘dead end’ play is reset from the opposite end as usual.
This motion was passed at the AGM. If you have any comments, please email the website: bigleague@boulesingwent.com.
The addition will be added to the Constitution & Rules.
