  • Cup rules: members can no longer use a stand in during the summer league cup group stages. They can only use a stand in during the last 16 to semifinal. A stand in cannot be used in the final.
  • Guest counting in sections: A guest can only obtain a place on a match day under the chairmen’s or match secretary say so. To be able to be a guest a club league member must be away on holiday or missing a match etc. The guest that is then fishing will not be a ‘stand in’ for the away member. However, is counted in sections. So as voted at our AGM, guests will take pts in sections but they will not be added into the league. Meaning every single member will always be in a section of 5.
