General information for league play / tournament play:

• If you wish to play in the league contact the secretary or group leader.  See the home page to contact these individuals.

• Rankings will be based on both tournament and league play. At the end of the tournament, the rankings will be redone based on those results. The beginning of the year will start with new rankings from the tournament. Throughout the year, the rankings list will be adjusted as the league play carries out.

• People not signed up for the competitive play will not be assigned a ranking in the club, but will still be listed on the web site as non-league members.

• League matches that are unfinished must be played and have priority on any other play on those tables.  If you are not playing a league match, you may be asked to leave the table if there is a league match to play.

League play:

• The club will be broken down into groups of 4 or 5 starting at the top ranked players. The top 4 or 5 ranked players will be in the first group, players ranked 5-8 will be in the next group, etc.

• Every 4 weeks, there is a round robin for each group. Each player plays each other, resulting in 3 matches for each person that they must complete in the 4 weeks.

• The due date for matches will be listed on the league results sheets.

• Players will be responsible for getting their own matches done on time.

• Results of the matches will be written into the league play sheets at the club.

• Matches not played will be forfeited.

• At the end of the league cycle, the results are compiled. Each player in their group of 4 is ranked 1-4 based on the results. The #1 player in their group will move 1 placement up, at the same time the lowest placement on the table above him will be dropped 1 ranking.  Therefore the lowest ranked player on the 2nd grouping will drop below the best ranked player on the 3rd group.  This normally results in 1 player moving up a group and 1 player moving down a group, but as players are added or removed from the league, this may not necessarily apply.

• Group standings calculated based on the following tiebreak priority:

1. # matches won.
2. # wins / # losses ratio
3. Head to head result.
