League
12th August: First Draft
We again expect 24 teams but there is change: welcome afresh Southeasterlies and also RAC Speed Six, merged from RAC Bentley and RAC Seven.
The two Division Threes are formed from last year's Three and Four. Matches will be arranged under an online-default in all but Three Black which where matches default to face-to-face play. We emphasise that these are defaults; captains are free to agree to play online or F2F in any division.
This is a schematic view of the changes.
| Division | New 1 | New 2 | New 3R | New 3B | Out |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Old 1 | 1234 | 56 | |||
| Old 2 | 12 | 34 | 5 | 6 | |
| Old 3 | 12 | 34 | 56 | ||
| Old 4 | 13 | 24 | 56 | ||
| New | 2 | 1 |
The numbers represent the finishing position in last year's division (reading horizontally) and locate that team in the new vertical divisions.
Knockout
The first round of the Leslie Dodds Cup has a strict – but generous – deadline of the 7th November, nine whole weeks from the Friday after the AGM.
