The Captain's SURVEY saythe s let’s kick-on from
The End of Season Presentations on April 28th at
The Mexican.
Catering for our larger league, Dennis and team are preparing a fantastic Mexican food buffet for our Trophy Presentations Party. Robert Dagger & Johnny Walker, our resident Masters of ceremonies, are making it happen.
The Kick-on bonus is an “After Party” at
The Pickled Liver.
This also promises be loads of fun too, with Lee Shamrock, as master of ceremonies, entertaining us until late.
Many thanks to those who responded to the survey and other feedback on chats.
At Mar 31 we had 31 responses which, added to the Captain's workshop discussions etc, gives the league some really solid feedback to plan with.
You can download a full copy of the survey results from the survey page on the web or here https://goo.gl/6IVVnX
The breakdown of responses saw 12 of 34 captains ( one-third) and 17 of approximately 200+ players / others, most from the same teams, responding.
Overall 4 teams with multiple responses comprises 60 % of replies.
We have left the survey open, if you still want to have a say.
As we mentioned at the outset, this survey is not a vote but more about an ongoing conversation we need to have to keep everything healthy. On specifics we still need in depth analysis, but here are some high level observations on the analysis so far.
Generally, the replies indicated the overall happiness with the league as most captains indicated at the meeting anyway. That includes additional items added about direction and how we can work with other leagues.
Admin changes on clarity were positive too. Specific attention on catch ups is needed and most want easier web reports for phones.
There were some excellent suggestions from those who took advantage of the narrative options to say more. The last item below is a potentially a great new idea that suggests a way get registered players feedback each week, to reflect the get-together happiness.
Here are some excerpts:
Do you have any suggestions on how to improve our current Sukhumvit Social Pool League - Definitions, Etiquette & Rules.(responses)
-
have captains family day and other social parties as semi-social events to get people more involve cross-team collaboration and other social interactions e.g involving wives and families
-
No It seems to work fine
-
Cancellation within 24 hours is forfeit
-
A quick search on Google provides a host of definitions, etiquette, and rules that can be plagiarized
-
Maybe allow plastic racks in 9 balls but not allow golden breaks.
-
Better Web format - easier to comprehend
-
An easier points system for Mondays. Teams unable to play forfeit or catch up games played in 7 days or forfeited. Perhaps instead of colored grading for teams, there could be 1st, 2nd divisions etc or grades eg A grade, B grade etc. maybe players ranked too.
-
Our team thinks Mondays should be 8 Ball & Wednesdays 9 ball
-
Team captain need to brief players on push shots. Numerous push shots are played without being called.

Any other suggestions on how to co-exist well
(responses)
-
get them registered in our league so we can be seen by them warts and all and as a courtesy and send them this survey
-
Have in off season some matches. Hire top players to teach techniques to better themselves
-
As in football - leagues fall under one another, avoids confusion and provides targets to aim at...
-
I personally believe the Bangkok pool league has had its day so no need
-
We already co-exist well. However, if the different leagues make their schedules match/align it would be better. it gives a player a chance to swap out at the end of a season.
-
The current system works well but could arrange inter comp matches.

-
Those that just want to play for fun already have that facility.
-
I am a strong believer that a Grand final would make a great showpiece event for the best players in the league to demonstrate their skills
-
Simple is best!
-
Keep the SSPL the way it is. A lot of fun we don't want to mix the leagues and have a lot of very good players kicking our ass every week. KEEP IT FUN AND CASUAL
-
I would prefer 8 Ball only on Mondays as Wednesday is 9 ball only. My team prefer 8 Ball and having a mixed format on Mondays mean that 75% of games are 9 ball
-
Make this survey shorter and cut out duplicate and irrelevant questions for non-captains
-
Would lIke other scoring options. (include more information at the end of this survey), Games won by both teams on a night should count. With the winning team receiving a bonus point for the win. So if a match finished 19-18, winning team gets 20 points and losing team 18. There could be a 2 point bonus for winning by more than 10 games. So if a team wins 19-7, the winning team gets 21 and losing team 7

Introduce an anonymous host and guest ranking system to reflect the get-together happiness
