This year we are keeping the mini-competition format for the early rounds of the Pairs competition on exactly the same basis to previously which we hope people will appreciate. We have 16 entries and the competition will run as follows.

SF1:        Match 1 = Pair 1 v Pair 2
SF2:       Match 2 = Pair 3 v Pair 4
Final:     Match 3 = Winner Match 1 v Winner Match 2

All matches will be played on a best of 3 basis. The winners of each of the mini-comps will automatically qualify for the Semi Finals on Monday 7th November. The winners of each of those will advance to the Final which will take place on Monday 5th December. The draw is continuous so the Semi Finals will be Winner Mini-Comp 1 v Winner Mini-Comp 2 etc.

Organisers of each Mini-Comp will be provided with a form to record exact details of all match results for the records.

Details of venue and organiser for each Mini-Comp will be circulated shortly.

Please note that the format of this competition again this year means that NO postponements will be permitted. However, a team may replace a player who is not available up to the start of the first match – please inform the League Secretary and the organiser of your Mini-Comp if this proves necessary.
