We are going to have a winter singles handicap knockout competition starting in November. It is open to all winter members and our full members. It is a chance for members to meet and it would be great if we had lots of entrants.

The handicap works as follows: Each entrant will be allocated a handicap. If you currently play in Winter Singles League Division 3 your handicap is +8. If you play in Division Two your handicap is +4. If you are in Div 1 you do not have a handicap. Matches will be drawn out of a hat. If a player from Div 3 is drawn to play a Div 1 player, the Div 3 player starts with 8 on the card. If a Div 3 player plays a Div 2 player, they start with 4 on the card. Games are 21 Up. Winner progresses, loser is out. Anyone entering who isn’t in the Winter League will be allocated a handicap.

If you want to enter please email Steve James (james.s52sky.com@sky.com) by 10th November please. Once we know how many entrants we have we can work out the number of rounds to be played. We will probably give one month for you to arrange and play each round. We will progress to a final in March. Steve will set up a WhatsApp group to make arranging the games easy. Hope you enter and good luck.
