As part of League Manager, we are trialling the League Monitoring System (LMS), which should help the leagues to run more smoothly in accordance with the rules.

LMS sends emails to home team contacts reminding them each week of their team's forthcoming fixtures during the week ahead. LMS also reminds home team contacts to enter match results within 5 days of the fixture taking place, and requests away team contacts to verify the home team's input before locking the fixture to further input.

LMS also monitors match results for anyone playing out of position relative to their nominated order. There are special procedures for recording walkovers and matches where players are forced to retire through injury.

In addition LMS monitors playing 'up' for a higher team and the rules governing minimum playing requirements in each half.

If you have any questions or comments about LMS or entering results, please refer to the League Sec at northumbriasquash@gmail.com.
