As some of you know the Men’s Challenge Cup competition gets underway on 12th August – at the moment there are 6 hosts. With the final one week later on 19th August.
Currently there has been 5 clubs have withdrawn – and with 8 days away there could be more unfortunately.
So, some groups may need to change – for example a club may need to move to another section to balance the groups (what I mean is each section having the same number of clubs). OR even have 5 sections instead of 6.
Host Clubs – I will not be sending information to you as yet (that is schedule, results table) until Tuesday or Wednesday (just in case clubs drop out). To note I will be Leamington Spa from Thursday.
If there is a club that has entered and is going to withdraw – please advise asap; also if a club has not entered and now wishes to enter please let me know also – thanks John Harthen.
For members / clubs that are not sure on the format – it is 8 players (Men) (2 rinks of 4). Each club/team play each club/team and combined score from the 2 rinks. For example Collingwood A plays each B team, and each Collingwood B team plays each A team – and combined scores count. So if Collingwood A lost by 7 to Haltwhistle B, but Collingwood B team won by 10 against Haltwhistle A – that would mean Collingwood would get 2 points +3.
Here is a copy of the rules – which will/may explain further information/details.
