Spring League 2011 - new format
Spring League will start on 28th. March, fee 20 euro for four games. The league will have a different format this year. There will be groups of four men & four ladies playing a mixed match each week and with a different partner. Individual scores will be recorded with 1 female & 1 male winner from each group. Each round will be 21 games (including advantage). The organisers would stress that that all players must be ready to start matches at 8pm. Sharp each night. We hope this new format will inject new life to the league and we are looking to as many members as possible to participate.
