As the Winter League season has reached the halfway stage, the nomination lists have now been unlocked and team captains may log on and renominate players within their club for the second half as allowed under section 4 of the League rules.

Please note in particular the following rules:

Rule 4.2:

All players must be registered members of the club they represent and also be members of England Squash before playing in any match.

We are enforcing England Squash (ES) membership for the second half of the season, so only players who have a valid current ES membership number will appear in the second-half nomination lists.

Rule 4.6:

Clubs may re-nominate their team ranking orders for the second half of the Winter League Season on the League website during the interval between the first and second halves. In the absence of such re- nominations by each team’s first match in the second half the existing nominated order will apply, except that players in the Men’s League who have been nominated in a top-five position for their team but who have failed to play at least three matches for their club in the first half will be removed from the ranking order as at 1st January and may only be re-nominated in a top-five position if there are mitigating circumstances (eg. injury) notified to the LS and accepted by the Northumbria Squash committee.

The nomination lists will be locked again once your second half fixtures begin.
