Angling Times Supercup 2011

#1

Big Baz is entering a Cashmores side into the 2011 Angling Times Supercup.

He has to provide a list of squad members (min 10, max 20) with the entry fee. This needs to be sent pretty quickly as the closing date is imminent.

Copied below are the 2009 rules (I cant find any more recent ones on the web so there may be some modification to these)

Can you let me know asap if you want to be included in the squad

Thanks

Angling Times/Van Den Eynde Clubman Supercup 2009 rules

1 – How to enter
Each Clubman member club must enter a squad of anglers into the event. Along with an entry form and the £30 entrance fee, each club secretary or captain must supply a squad list of anglers (minimum 10 anglers, maximum 20 anglers) that will be used to fish the competition.

2 – Squads
Squad names can be changed only with the permission of Angling Times. Should any club wish to make a change at any point in the competition, they must notify Angling Times. Please note that clubs will be allowed to request their opposition’s team sheets before the match.
Should the team on the day not match that on the submitted teamsheet AND Angling Times has not been notified of any changes made then the team in question will be disqualified immediately.

3 – Sponsorship
With more anglers turning their back on the open match scene and settling into the club scene, the standard of angler fishing Supercup has increased somewhat! With this in mind, our sponsored angler policy is as follows:
Teams:
Only sponsorship of teams from local tackle shops will be permitted and we will expect only the shop name to be used. Any team with a tackle or bait company in their name will not be allowed to fish, whether this sponsorship comes direct from the company concerned, through a friend, team member or through the tackle shop owner themselves will not be allowed to fish, regardless of how much tackle or bait they actually get from this deal or whether they receive tackle at trade cost. We would expect clubs to declare any deals when applying to enter for consideration.
Individuals:
Again, only those with sponsorship from their local tackle shop will be permitted. Sponsorship from ANY bait or tackle company whether team or individual, no matter how small or large they may be, will not be allowed.

4 – Sponsorship mid-competition
If a club has one of their registered members join a sponsored team or gain personal sponsorship from tackle or bait companies during the 2009 campaign, then they will not be allowed to take any further part in the competition.
They will also not be allowed to take part any further in the future of the event until their sponsorship ends, even if they are a valid club member.
If an individual has sponsorship through being employed (not as a paid or unpaid tackle or bait consultant) by a tackle or bait company, then this acceptable.

5 – Non-transferable anglers
Clubs can enter as many squads as they like, but if fishing two sides, they must supply two separate squad lists with two different sets of anglers. These respective squad members will be non-transferable between the two squads.

6 – Cup tied
Likewise, an angler who fishes for one club in the competition, cannot then transfer to another that he/she is a member of – this angler will in effect be ‘cup tied’ and unable to take part further in the event for any side.

7 – Ties
The number of rounds to be fished will depend upon the number of teams that enter in each area. Over 350 clubs entered last year, with the format being two knockout rounds, one Semi-Final in your own region, and the final.
Round one will be a knockout between two or three teams, depending on the draw and the number of teams entered in your local area.
Round two is a match with again two or occasionally three teams competing, again with one team drawn as the home side as before, the other team coming from the same region.
The winning team from this round goes through to their regional Semi Final, either the North, Midlands or South, the top seven from these Semis then going through to the Grand Final.

8 – The draw
The draw details for each round will be fair and independent and the first round draw will be published in Angling Times in mid-December.
All home-drawn clubs will be instructed on who to contact from their rival club or clubs and, at each club’s request, all sides will be expected to supply their squad list to the other team involved in the match.

9 – Venue selection
Home-drawn clubs will have the choice of venue for the fixture ONLY. These venues must be large enough to comfortably accommodate the match and give every angler and equal chance to fish every method at their disposal.

10 – Match dates part 1
The date of the match must be arranged with the consent of the other team or teams, and not imposed by the home club. The home club will be expected to arrange the venue-pegging and weighing-in if applicable providing adequate scales for the venue in use. Please note these rules will be strictly adhered to.
NO EXTENSIONS TO TIES WILL BE GRANTED IN 2007. IF A TIE CANNOT BE ARRANGED THEN A TEAM WILL BE DRAWN OUT OF THE HAT.

11 – Match dates part 2
Home clubs must also provide AT LEAST three weekend dates for the match to counter unavailability of anglers and prior club bookings – failure to do so will result in disqualification from the competition. These dates must be a minimum of two weekends after the draw has been announced to allow sufficient practice to take place.

12 – Date problems
If still no date can be agreed from these three dates and all concerned cannot arrange an alternative date between themselves, then a team will be drawn out of the hat by Angling Times to go through to the next stage.
If away clubs are given these dates but are unable to make any of them due to prior arrangements (for example a pre-arranged club match or club outing) then they must make a decision between that engagement or fishing Supercup.

13 – Practice dates
The home club should also allow the away team to practice at least twice on the fishery chosen for the match and must designate the pegs or rough area of the venue to be used, whether it is a club or privately owned water. If these pegs change, all parties MUST be informed. These practice dates must be weekend dates and not midweek.

14 – Fishery rules
Fishery rules will apply, whether a commercial or club water. Home teams are expected to make their opposition fully aware of these rules to avoid confusion on the day. The home club will have no power to dictate fishery rules unless they own the venue in question.

15 – Number of anglers
All first and second round Supercup ties will be EIGHT A SIDE.

16 – Scoring
ALL Supercup matches will be decided on section points, NOT weight. Sections will contain one angler from each competing team, so will be made up of two or three anglers and will be decided as follows in a tie of three teams:
One point for a section win
Two points for section second
Three points for a section third
In the event of a blank, the angler in question will receive one more point than the last in section score. So, in a two club tie, a blank will score three points. If there is a tie on weight, both anglers will receive the points score for that position, not half points.
In the event of a tie on points overall, section countback will be used to decide the winners – for example, the team with more section wins or seconds will triumph. If there is still a tie after this then aggregate weight will come into play.

17 – Length of match
All Supercup matches will be five hours long.

18 – Severe weather
In the event of cancellation due to severe weather conditions, matches will be granted an extension for the tie to be fished. ONLY severe weather conditions will permit this, not any other reason.

19 – Semi finals
The three Semi finals are to be held at venues to be announced and at this stage, the clubs’ teams will be restricted to teams of SIX anglers to allow us to fit the matches in on these waters. The winners will be judged on section points.

20 – The final say
The adjudication of Angling Times and Van Den Eynde on any matter relating to the competition will be final and absolutely no correspondence will be entered into
