The Diddler Explained

Members, the purpose of this email is to clarify the ‘diddler’ rules in force for the remainder of the season and to enfinity & beyond.

The diddler is awarded to a winning rink, with the highest winning margin

  • where 2 or more rinks have won their respective matches, the highest margin takes the pot. e.g., Rink A wins by 21-9 (12 point winning margin) and Rink B wins by 19-3 (16 point winning margin) - Rink B awarded the diddler with the largest winning margin!

  • Where 2 or more rinks win by the same margin, the diddler is awarded to the rink with the highest score. e.g., Rink A wins 21-9 (12 point winning margin) and Rink B wins by 24-12 (12 point winning margin) - Rink B awarded the diddler as they have the highest score i.e., 24 as compared to rink A with 21!

  • Where no rink wins a game, the diddler - is rolled over to the next match in the same league i.e., PG1, PG2 etc.

  • Where a match is curtailed for any reason [weather, light etc] - the diddler rules will be applied using the score at the time the match was abandoned.

Regards, Peter Christian pp CABC Committee.
