Fletton Trophy – Saturday, 23 September
On Saturday, 23 September, a one-day full-lawn AC Advanced tournament will take place for the Fletton Trophy. This competition will be based upon 14-point advanced AC play in accordance with Law 52.3, Lift Version but with a time limit (tbd but between 60-75 minutes) imposed on a game’s duration.
The format for the Tournament will be AMD but likely either to be an all-play-all or a Swiss depending upon numbers.
Scoring will be one point for a win with a bonus point available for a pegged out game; hoop points scored will be recorded. The winner will be the person with the most points scored. In the event of a tie at the end of the competition, the head-to-head result will determine the winner; and if that fails to elicit a winner, the tied player with the most hoop points scored will be the winner. Beyond that determination, a tie break at the manager’s discretion will be used.
If you wish to take part please let me know via e-mail . The closing date for entries will be Wednesday, 20 September.

Mason Cup – Monday, 7 August
The Club’s full lawn AC handicap competition for the Mason Cup will take place on Monday, 7 August, as a single day tournament starting at 10 am.
If you wish to take part please let me know by e-mail no later than Friday, 4 August.
The precise format of the tournament will depend upon the number of entrants.
All games will be 14-point and time-limited to 1 hour with handicaps adjusted accordingly to take account of both the shorter game format and the limited time. Handicaps will be calculated as one third of the full-lawn AC handicap and where necessary rounded down to the nearest half or full bisque. Games will be played as full handicap matches.
Scoring will be one point for a win with a bonus point available for a pegged out game; hoop points scored will be recorded. The winner will be the person with the most points scored. In the event of a tie at the end of the competition, the head-to-head result will determine the winner; and if that fails to elicit a winner, the tied player with the most hoop points scored will be the winner. Beyond that determination, a tie break at the manager’s discretion will be used.
I look forward to hearing from you!
