League Stage

Scoring will be; 

First to 10 games
2 points for a win 

1 bonus point for the losing team if they score 7 games or more

0 points if a team is beaten 10-6 or worse.

Knockout Stage

The top two teams in each group will qualify for the Cup knockout stage.  If teams finish tied on the same points in their group, the winner will be decided by who won the head-to-head match between the tied teams.

The winner of group A will play the runner up of group B and vice versa.   Essentially, a semi-final and final.

Rules

The deadline for the league stage matches is the 20th June. The knockout stage must be completed by the BBQ on the 29th June.  Please get your matches played early!  IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THE COMPETITION THAT YOU PLAY ALL YOUR MATCHES.

During the league stage, if a player has to drop out, a substitute is allowable (if a suitable one can be found). However, during the knockout stage, no substitutes will be allowed and a walk-over must be given to the opponents.
