Format

1. 4 Rounds
2. 5 games per round - the first round will be a random draw and from then on it will be on a ranking basis. For round 4 the top 6 teams will play each other and then the next 6 etc. If players change partners each round their individual rankings at the time of the draw for the next round will be averaged i.e. the 4th ranked player playing with the 7th ranked player will have a ranking of 5.5. Note: it will not always be possible to prevent players being drawn to play against other club members.
3. Each individual player earns points on the following basis:
   
   • Win = 10 points
   • Win all 5 games = bonus of 5 points (if weather shortens a round to less than 5 games there will be no bonus points awarded for winning all games.
   • Lose 13-12, 13-11 or 13-10 = 5 points
4. Points are accumulated by individual players over the 4 rounds.
5. Byes to be counted as a 13-7 win. A default is a win to the non defaulting team.
