If this happens, team captains are asked to play their four lowest graded available players, rather than just turning up with three players. Board 4 would be scored as a default as far as the League is concerned, but the actual over the board result of the game would still be submitted for grading. This ensures that no one misses out on getting a game. 30/09/2018 Fixtures Meeting minutes added. 20/09/2018 Fixtures published.

Please advise the Fixtures Secretary promptly of any changes, so he does not have to chase up results of matches which have not yet taken place, and to allow this website to be kept up to date. 15/09/2018 Divisions for the 2018-19 season can be seen on the Cross Tables page. Fixtures will be published soon after the Fixtures Meeting on 19th September. Results for 2017-18 are now in the History/Archive section.
