League Structure
The league this year will continue to run as a series of monthly tournaments, with points awarded at each tournament. The structure of the tournaments will be reviewed at the November Committee Meeting, where the following proposal will be assessed:
All tournaments ater the Christmas break will be split into 2 divisions. Teams will be placed into groups depending on their league standings at the end of the 3rd tournaments, and will play against teams in their division for the remaining 3 tournaments. If 7 teams or less are attending a tournament they will play a round robin.
