Competitions

There are two sections at present; a third specifically for Bs and Novices can be created if needed.

"Intermediates" (Wine tablecloths) for A2 players, Bs and Novices.

and "Open" (Blue tablecloths) for Masters and A1 players.

A player of any grade can play in the Open section however Masters and A1 players must play in this section

A pair consisting of an A2 and an A1 player may play in the Intermediates section if they wish. This exception

also applies where both players are A1s but one of them only became an A1 in the last 12 months.
