| County Player Obligations 18thOctober 2024 |
1) Selectors write to our pool of players each season asking for availability for match dates and on which platforms – F2F, BBO, RealBridge. This should also include their list of partners. An exception is the Tollemache where Selectors will prioritise.
2) When a player returns as being available for a match, they need to reserve as a definite commitment until a selection has been made.
3) Selections should be made at least 6+weeks before any match. They should include a reserve pair.
4) All players on reception, need to reply and confirm within a week they can play or otherwise. This includes Reserves.
5) In addition Selectors should send out a reminder 2 weeks before a match.
6) If a player subsequently becomes unavailable, they need to inform us as soon as possible. This has not always happened causing later disruption.
It also gives us more time, so Selectors can swap around players to different matches.
7) It’s helpful if players switch divisions in the NBL as needed.
