BBC Snooker Section - Inter-departmental League

Brumby Hall has 3 extra tables which were specifically purchased by the BSC Snooker Section for the running of the steelworks Inter-

departmental snooker league and these tables are only available to members of the BSC Snooker Section and not the general membership of App Frod.

As the BSC league is still intended to be an Inter-Departmental one, most of the rules regarding new members and teams focus on players being employed by or at least working on the Steel Works or for its associate companies.

Any potential new members should ideally contact any existing players or team captains for their area of the works to register interest, if wishing to enter a new team then they should make their interest known to any of the committee members or attend the AGM / Registration evening.

The BSC Inter-departmental was founded in the late 1980's and at its peak comprised of over 20 teams all representing area's of the Steel Works and competing over 4 Divisions with yearly promotions, relegations, 2 team cups and individual singles/doubles competitions.

Each team can have 10 players registered to their squad, with at least 6 needed to play a team match, team matches consist of 6 singles frames and 3 doubles frames.

The BSC league still functions in much the same way, although over the last 10 years has unfortunately seen the number of participating teams decline, mainly due to retirements, steelworks departments closing and a general slowdown in new members/teams joining.
