What would happen if you didn't do this on grassland instead of an opening? Would you have points deducted or get disqualified? Or is it an option to do this or an opening?Self explanatory from the last good ploughing!View attachment 260566
Yeah you should come down to our match, it's on grass every year, or it has been up to now.
Which match is that then Will? (I do a few matches in north wales)North West Wales, the last weekend of April usually.
Trouble is, the occasional grass match is Brailsford, and that is up there with the top matches in the country (IMO). Last year was on a single year lay and we were told to do a double split...Sop rule is no opening, organisers spout sop rules apply! So, if an opening is required, walk away, if they wont obey that rule how many more will they ignore? If you want to play on grass, go to Sarn!
Not had that meeting yet then Will?
Top match that doesnt know the rules! There is no mention of the age of the grass! Mendip did the same down here, and you should have seen the "Artistic Impressions" in the plots. Didnt effect me, as I had to do one anyway. I had gone to Wales to learn how it was done andpractise it.Worked out well, got first.Trouble is, the occasional grass match is Brailsford, and that is up there with the top matches in the country (IMO).

Agree, there was a little confusion last year - we were tpold to treat it as stubble!! I shan't have a go though, I do think Brailsford is one of the best matches out there, if only for the food!!!Top match that doesnt know the rules! There is no mention of the age of the grass!
