Competitions will commence at 12.30 on Friday with most players getting 2 matches on Friday afternoon followed by further matches on Saturday. Competitions will be run (depending on numbers), as either:

“Round Robins” with all playing all and possible knock out finals for winners and losers
This should provide 4 matches for all players (2 Friday, 2 Saturday). Drop outs may affect this but players should expect at least 3 matches in each competition. Additional “Plate” competitions will be arranged to enable plenty of games.
