This year we are keeping the mini-competition format for the early rounds of the Singles competition on a very similar basis to last year’s. We have 53 entries (compared to last year’s 32) and the competition will run as follows.

On Singles 1 in the calendar, Monday 10th June, there will be 8 mini-competitions (known as mini-comps) which will work as follows:

Match 1 = Player 1 v Player 2
Match 2 = Player 3 v Player 4
Match 3 = Player 5 v Player 6
Match 4 = Player 7 v Player 8
Match 5 = Winner Match 1 v Winner Match 2
Match 6 = Winner Match 3 v Winner Match 4
Match 7 = Winner Match 5 v Winner Match 6

All matches will be played on a best of 3 basis. The winners of Match 7 in each of the mini-comps will automatically qualify for the Quarter Finals on Monday 11th November. The winners of each of those will reach the Semi-Finals to be played on the same night with the winners advancing to the Final which will take place on Monday 2nd December. The draw is continuous so the Quarter Finals will be Winner Mini-Comp 1 v Winner Mini-Comp 2 and so on.

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

The draw, details of venue and organiser for each mini-comp can be found below.

Please bear in mind that all Captains, Vice-Captains and senior players may be needed to help organisers and referee matches at their venue.
There were 53 entries to this year’s Singles. The players have been divided into 8 mini-competitions (Mini-Comps) of 6 or 7 players, a total of 5 or 6 best of 3 matches in each Mini-Comp, to be played on the one night. This will leave the last 8 players to meet in the Quarter Finals of the overall Singles competition on Monday 11th November. The winners of those Quarter Finals will advance to the Semi Finals to be played on the same evening and those winners will play the Final of the competition on Monday 2nd December.

Please note that the format of this competition 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 his/her first match – Captains should have informed the League Secretary and the organiser of their player’s Mini-Comp in advance if this proves necessary.

Please play all fixtures on the main match table for each venue (where appropriate) and in the order listed with players sharing table fees.
