Hi Captains and Secretaries

2006 Autumn Interclub Competition

THIS NOTE refers to those teams who requested to play in Divisions 2 and 3.

As there are not sufficient entries to make a practical event for each of Division 2 and 3, we are trying a new concept. This is where the Autumn competition is run in two rounds - first one round where all 9 teams play against one another, followed by:

The determination of which second round draw a teams goes into will depend upon their points placing in the first round.

Therefore the top 4 (or 5 depending upon the margin between the top and bottom teams) have a new draw between themselves to arrive at the two finalists. And the bottom 4 (or 5) teams have a similar draw to arrive at their two finalists.

Every team will have the opportunity to play both stronger and weaker teams in the first round, followed by a draw where they meet teams of a similar standard.
