Welsh Cup
These competitions will initially be held online.
The draw will be done on a National basis, and the only non-regional travelling may be for the finals later in the year (undecided as to whether these will be online or FtoF).
A ‘double elimination’ system will operate, ensuring any team must lose two matches before being eliminated. There are generous Green Point awards, based on the result of 8-board stanzas, so you can lose the match, but still win Green Points. For event details and entry forms, click the appropriate cup or contact the event organiser Jean Hand
The closing date for entries is January. 25th 2022.
