Hi All

Over the last few day's I have been presented with a problem with banned/ suspended pool player's

Can you please check within your County and proved me with your current list.

Please do this in excel as attached

Thanks

Dave is R3 Director and has sent this request to the affiliated Counties. I am unaware
of any such cases within our County.

However it would be of some interest to learn if any other Counties have received
similar requests from their respective RD's, or whether this is a R3 specific, suggesting
our Admin isn't all it could be.

Don't know m8..I always thought that any ban / suspension of card was a matter
for the EPA disciplinary committee and that records of any such action would be
both kept and notified to the respective Region. Seems I could have been wrong.

I am aware that Local Leagues / Inter leagues and even Counties can take such action,
but that these should in turn be communicated up the ladder in the event of the player
concerned submitting and appeal.

If R3 do not have the records then clearly something is not working from an admin
point of view..be that up or down the ladder.

My gut feeling is that EPA and Regions wish to tidy up all and any existing
paperwork prior to embarking on some sort of witch hunt..but I could be wrong.

Maintaining one single list of all players with outstanding monies or disciplinary sanctions is a very good idea IMO, it's something I used to do on a much smaller scale within the old Region 3. Far too many players slip "through the net" and manage to enter things like National Amateurs when they owe counties/regions money, and likewise counties often may not be aware when registering inter-league/county players if someone has bounced a cheque to the national body.

Entirely sensible thing to do IMO.

Absurd or otherwise, it still wouldn't solve the problem as county officers will only have access to their own counties records, regional officers only to their own region's records, for example, not to those of other counties/regions where players may be transferring from etc.

That's just adding to the absurdity.

And I thought that that was how it should be done anyway. Clearly not. Yes, there should be such a database and Officers / Organisers / TD's should have access to it so that any ban / suspension can be enforced..otherwise there seems no point in the disciplinary action in the first place.

I still wonder why EPA have started this now though.

Maybe this is why Read this

Dont understand this thread, the EPA does have a list of all its players, all of us who have access can see the list of players registered.

Although I can agree with Sullarian, witch hunts do happen, I saw it first hand last year with my Inter-League team with innocent players, from which has now seen those players say 'why should I play for a body who does check its records, and blindly bans players - sorry suspends - without any investigation first.......

Sorry, I am bitter, I lost a team I had built up for years over this.

Rather than start another topic, I will use this one....

If a player played BB county, what would he be banned from regarding the EPA?

How do you get banned for life by the EPA? I'
m really interested as the west mids county captain keeps pestering me to play,and well,I'd rather have a leg off.Can you sort that for me dan? Not the leg lol.
