Any partnership including a player who is not properly registered will be disqualified.
All matches will be a minimum of 5 frames (first to 3), subject to the number of entries.
All matches will be played at Spots & Stripes, on designated Tuesday nights, commencing at 8pm as follows:

Initial Announcement:
If a player (or pair) fails to show by the appointed time, frames will be docked in the usual way, until the match is handed to the opponents on a walkover.
(Waterloo League rule 4e includes the phrase 'docked 1 frame for every 10 minutes')
Unlike the more relaxed Singles KO, the Scotch Doubles is a money competition so 'postponing' your fixture is not acceptable. In the early rounds this would affect subsequent matches played on the same night.
The fixture dates are clearly available, both above and in the league fixture list - if you can't make these dates, don't enter!
If a player is for exceptional reasons unable to attend a fixture, he or she must contact the opponents in advance and notify the league, requesting a deferral. If their opponents consent, a re-arranged fixture must take place within seven days of the original date.
Opponents are not obliged to give their consent, and if they refuse to do so, the match will be awarded to them as a walkover.
If a player or pair feel that they have been unjustly refused a deferral, in that their reasons for missing the fixture are ‘exceptional’, they may appeal to the League Secretary. Exceptional reasons might include genuine medical or domestic priorities which cannot be rearranged.
They will not include holidays or conflicting social arrangements!
Entry into the Doubles Knockout is set at £10 per player.
All entries and entry fees should be submitted by your Team Captain to either Alan or Chris by 8pm on the 6th March.
No entries will be accepted after this date.
The draw will be made on or shortly after the 6th March and will be published here.
