Knockout Cup

Introduction

The Lower Divisions Knockout Cup is open to all teams registered in Divisions 5 and 6.

There is a new format this season, with all 9 games in each match being doubles games featuring three players on each side. Please note that each game will be best of 3(not 5) with games being up to 11 points as in league games.
The teams will be split into four different pools and matches played on a round robin basis. League points in each pool will be based on games won ie if Team A beats Team B 6-3, Team A will get 6 league points and Team B 3 league points. Each team will play each other once within the pool and at the end of three rounds of games the winners of each pool will progress to the semi-finals to be played in February, and the winners each semi-final will meet in the final.


This competition is run by Duncan Abbott, the Special Competitions Secretary.
