| Corn na dTreabh (Handicap Pairs Championship) |
 Please note that the 1st Session of this new two session pairs event will take place this coming Thursday (15th January... the 2nd Session will take place on Thursday 22nd January).
Pre-entry is required and if you would like to play and have not already submitted an entry, then please make contact with either Seamus MacMathuna (President) or Enda Glynn (Tournament Director).
UPDATE
Handicaps for this event are calculated on the basis of Partnership Average over the period 9th January 2014 - 8th January 2015. The actual handicap, in percentage terms, is automatically calculated using a formula of subtracting the Partnship's Average from 62. Thus a Partnership Average of 57% would equate to a handicap of +5%.
Where a non-regualr pertnership is enterd for this event the Handicap is based on the combined Individual Average of the two players over the period 9th January 2014 - 8th January 2015.
Partnership Averages and Individual Avergaes can be viewed in the Competitions 2014-2015 menu on right-hand side of Home Page.
