            i.e. Sun 1st May – Tues May 10th = Period 1 etc.

            A ‘Period’ is 10 days in order to fit in all the matches and leave a little

Scorecards will be available but must be retained by the person marking the score. No cards to be left at the Club or on the Site. 

Casual dress code. 

League tables will be published. 

The high number of pairs enrolled in this competition has required the formation of two league groups, this was done by random number computer generation. 

The winners and runners-up of each group will play in a semi-final on a date to be agreed and the final will be played on the Club Competition Finals day(s) in September 2022
