  Samani Salver and Plate Handicap Knockout Teams of Four

The Samani Salver Competition is a Handicapped Knockout Competition for Teams of Four.  Teams that are knocked out in their first round of playing are eligible to play in the Plate Competition.  There will be no entry fee for teams wishing to play in the competition in 2024. 

This is intended to be a home-play competition but, with the agreement of both captains, the match may be played online.  Each team will have a handicap that is derived from the NGS Standings of the team members playing in the match as explained in the rules of the competition, a copy of which may be seen here.  The timetable and expected completion date for each round is as follows:

  • Final by end of August
  • Semi Final by end of July
  • Quarter Final by end of June
  • Round of 16 by end of May
  • Preliminary Round and Round of 32 (if necessary) by end of April

The winners of the Samani Salver and Silver Plate competitions will hold the trophies for one year.  Master points will not be awarded as this is a handicapped competition.

Entries are to be made using the form below.  Individual LCBA members may apply to enter a team in the Samani Salver Competition and there is no requirement for players to have participated in the Teams of Four League.  A team must initially nominate the Team Captain and three other members on the entry form below.  As provided in the competition rules, team captains may subsequently field additional players for specific matches in the event that any of the initial squad are unavailable, subject to the Competition Controller being notified and specifying a handicap for the player. 

The closing date for entries is Fri 22 Mar 24.
