Associate Membership of the League
There is the opportunity for teams that don't want to take part in the League programme but would like to enter our Knock-Out Cup competition only, that we are offering Associate Membership, at a cost of £5 per team.
For this you will still receive the full Captains Directory for 2013, all the e-mailed newsletters, league tables, invites to Coastal League events and at least 2 competitive matches (see other article regarding 2013 KO Cup for further details on this).
The Captains Directory will give teams who take on Associate Membership, all the contact details of other Coastal teams, allowing them to arrange friendly matches etc to suit their playing wants and availability.
As with 2013 League entries, Associate Membership is only available until 31/1/13.
If you need more details on Associate Membership, please e-mail the League Co-Ordinator.

2013 Knock Out Cup PLUS....
Many of the teams who have already applied to enter our 2013 season have indicated that they would like to take part in the Knock Out Cup competition, which will run alongside the main league programme.
The Knock Out Cup gives teams the potential opportunity to play other teams that they wouldn't normally face during a normal league season and also will help teams prepare themselves should they get to the League Play-Offs, as they will have then experienced ''sudden death'' matches, as there can be no drawn matches in the Cup, exactly like the Play-Offs themselves.
(Please note that as the Cup draw is completely random, you could yet be drawn against a team from your own division, we cannot guarantee otherwise).
As we have 27 teams already proffering their willingness to compete, we will also run a Plate competition as well, whereby all the First Round losers in the Cup, will get a second bite of the cherry by then being placed into a knock-out Plate with all the other First Round losers.
This should mean (excluding any teams that could get awarded a bye due to numbers), that all teams should get a minimum of two knock-out matches, ie 1 Cup then 1 Plate or 2 Cup (if you win your First Round match).

Early Bird scheme expires
With the Early Bird scheme ending on Saturday 22nd December 2012, (whereby you could enter your team for just £15 for the entire season), we ended up with 39 teams applying to enter our forthcoming 2013 season.
Out of the teams that have applied to enter so far, 26 teams have requested to also compete in the Adnams Knock Out Cup, which is a voluntary competition that teams can elect to enter, at no extra cost.
It isn't too late however, as you can still apply to join the league, between now and the final entry deadline of 31st January 2013, but the cost has risen to £20 per team. If you have a team of 8 players, that's just £2.50 each, and what other sport can you play for an entire season at this sort of cost!!??!

Extension to Early Bird deadline date
As the administration of the League took an enforced ''3 week break'', this has meant that the League Co-Ordinator is now 3 weeks behind in the collection process of the Early Bird applications.
On that basis, the deadline for Early Bird submissions will now be Saturday 22nd December 2012, (ie the last postal weekend before Xmas). The fees are £15 per team for the entire 2013 season, rising to £20 per team after the Xmas break.
If you require application forms, please e-mail the League at imogenlewiskira@sky.com
