Welcome to the LMSSL website.
LEAGUE OBJECTIVES
The goal of the LMSSL is to administer a snooker league to consist of no less than six teams in each of two divisions, identified as "A" and "B" league, whereby seniors can participate in friendly competition in a relaxed social environment.
CODE OF CONDUCT
Generally speaking, snooker is most often played without a referee or umpire. Therefore the welfare of our seniors' snooker league relies on the personal integrity and decorum of all of its members, irrespective of how competitive they may be. Players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy at all times and thereby promoting the etiquette and traditions of snooker.
TEAM MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
Except for the following conditions the autonomy of the team is recognized by the league.
- To abide by this constitution, its amendments and its Code of Conduct.
- To register as a team and to field a team of eight players aged fifty-five or older who are active, paid up members of the Seniors' centre they represent.
- To pay, prior to the first league match, the annual team membership fee, which will be determined at the AGM for the following year.
- To accommodate the schedule and to provide a room where smoking and alcoholic beverages are prohibited.
- To provide a place of play to be no farther away than one hour traveling time from any other team and which has a minimum of three 5' x 10' snooker tables.
- To accept rulings made by the LMSSL Executive Committee re: either routine operation of league competition and/or disciplinary actions taken due to breaches of our Code of Conduct.
- To agree that acceptance to register a team in the league will be decided by the EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
- To provide volunteers to perform the following functions and duties as described further on in this document : 1st a Captain and a Co-Captain and 2nd a team "referee/observer/volunteer" who will be the team liaison to the league's Referee-in-Chief to assist him with assigning referees and observers as required by the league.
- To agree that a boycott is an unacceptable form of protest, be it not fielding a team or not attending meetings.
- To agree that failure to abide by any of these conditions may be sufficient grounds for expulsion or other less drastic form of sanction/discipline decided upon by the league or the Executive Committee.
