2023/4 League Fixtures
Welcome to Perthshire Bridge League

(Near) Final League Table 2023/4 - Congratulations to MUIRWARD on winning the League

Congratulations to MUIRWARD on winning the League with only 1 loss (but with a bonus point) and only 1 dropped bonus point in the other 7 matches (that they won) - Quite an achievement.

One match is outstanding which could result in a reversal of 3rd and 4th places if Bracken win that match.

I had to insert the latest results by hand as the standard cut and paste (via Ctl-v) no longer works and so if there are any typos I can only apologise. (But please let me know and I will correct).

League 2023/4 - Provisional entry

We have had confirmed entry from 9 of the 11 teams that participated in the League last year and one withdrawal (Burleigh). At this stage no "new" teams have joined or re-joined the League. The fixtures have been set up so that we can accomodate a late entry (up until late October). If we still have only 9 teams at that point then the entries will be closed and any team scheduled to play Team 10 will have a bye.

 

Ruff Diamonds. The Travellers, Muirward, Strathord, Bracken, Heartbreakers, French Connection, and Greens, all have a fixture on 04/10. Please refer to 2023/4 League Fixtures on the left for a full list of fixtures. Although Pitheavlis have no scheduled fixture on 04/10, I will be in the Club that night.

 

There will no doubt be a few postponements during the course of the season and there will be gaps in the calendar to allow teams to catch up and also to avoid having to play every week. 

2023/2024 League Arrangements and Fixtures

We intend to run a League along similar lines to the previous season but we will extend to 2 divisions if we get an entry of 12 or more teams (subject to approval from the participants).

 

In the event of fewer than 12 teams entering then as a slight embelleshment to last year's arrangements we will be running both a Scratch and Handicap competition simultaneously. (i.e. When you play a match then the results of that match will be fed into two League tables - one Scratch and one Handicap). That will help to make the season more competitive and hopefully it will give everyone a chance to finish top of the (Handicap) pile.

 

We are aiming for a start date of Wednesday 4th October 2023. It would be helpful if any Team Captains wishing to participate in the League this coming season could confirm entry via email either to my personal or work email address (these can be supplied on request).

 

There is one small sting in the tail - Table Money will be £4 per head. This is to cover costs both to the Club (£3.50) and the League (£0.50). Last year the League had no income and so we ran at a loss. This modest surcharge should address that issue in the coming season. 

 

Start Time: 19:00

Doors Open: 18:30

Postponements and Rescheduling of matches

If a Team wishes to postpone a tie then could they please not officially stand the opposing team down.

Initially it is sufficient to advise their opposing team of the situation, and to agree on an alternative date for their match. If the opposing team still wish to play then they should contact the Secretary as there could be scope for lining up alternative opposition on the night (if time permits). This not only avoids unnecessary disappointment but also helps to minimise fixture congestion towards the latter end of the season.

OUTSTANDING MATCHES FROM 2019/2020

There are still some outstanding games from the 2019/2020 season. Any outstanding League matches will not have a material affect on the Div 1,2,or 3 trophies but we do have the KO final outstanding.

The outstanding matches should be scheduled on a mutually convenient date over the coming season. These finals can be doubled up with any League matches if both captains (having consulted their respective teams) agree.

As things stand the League does not intend to run a KO tournament this coming season (2023/2024) but that can be reviewed if demand dictates.

POSTPONEMENTS POLICY

POSTPONEMENTS AND RE-ARRANGED MATCHES

Team Captains are reminded that any team requesting a postponement is perfectly entitled to do so (Subject to the agreement of the opposing team Captain) but must make every attempt to offer alternative dates with a view to getting the fixture played on a date suitable to both teams and as soon as is practical after the original fixture.
