After votes at the 2025 AGM, it has been decided that a separate predominantly Online League will be setup and the existing League will become predominantly Face-to-Face.

This entry form is for a new Online League with matches to be played Online (on BBO by default, unless BOTH teams prefer another platform). If BOTH teams prefer to play a particular match Face-to-Face (perhaps they are at the same club), that is fine but the expectation is that matches will be played online.

If you find that only part of your team would like to play in this way or if you need some extra players, then let the League Secretary know.

As it is a new League, we have the opportunity to design it for the future. Historically, League matches have been 24 boards (or 20 boards for lower divisions), but we could choose to play 24, 20 or 16 board matches and vary this by division. Also, the number of matches in a season could be adjusted depending on how many entries there are.

So please discuss with your team and tell me what your thoughts are.
