Eligibility for non-Expert Prizes in LCBA Competitions

The Tournament Sub Committee has revised the definition of non-expert for the purpose of identifying who is eligible to win non-expert prizes in LCBA competitions. In general, players who have represented the County in a Midland Counties League match within the previous three years, or who have an NGS rank of 9 or higher, will be considered ‘Expert’, and thus not be eligible to win a non-expert prize. The full definition is contained in this document here.
