The ninth Sussex Off The Spot will be played on Saturday 28th June at the Roffey Sports and Social Club, Horsham. As in previous years the opening round of this competition will be played in a group/league format to give everyone plenty of matches and legs.
If you would like to enter please complete the attached entry form or let Stuart Carruthers know. Closing date will be Sunday 15th June. Entry will cost £10 and can be paid in cash to Stuart Carruthers or Jean Brackenridge or by bank transfer to the SCBBA account (details on request).
Eligibility for this event is subject to SCBBA Rule 21 as shown below. This is a new rule agreed at the previous AGM with the Off The Spot having been removed from being a closed competition.

a) They only play in Bar Billiards Leagues affiliated to SCBBA
b) They do not represent a County other than Sussex in any AEBBA individual or team event
c) They have played at least 80% of league matches within any league affiliated to SCBBA
Any player who, having competed in the SCBBA Off the Spot event on those terms, is found subsequently to have breached this undertaking, shall be banned sine die from all bar billiards events under the auspices of SCBBA.”
