2008/9 John Ripley Match Reports by team captain John Carleton

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

RULES FOR THE JOHN RIPLEY TOURNAMENT

 

1. HANDICAPS

When deciding the handicap to be applied in any particular match the divisions the two teams are in should be looked at.  Where there is a difference of :-

 

1 Division

1½ points to the team in the lower division

2 Divisions

2½ points to the team in the lower division

3 Divisions

3½ points to the team in the lower division

4 Divisions

4½ points to the team in the lower division

 

2. DRAWN MATCHES

Matches can only be drawn between teams from the same division.  In this event the tie is first resolved on board count. If this fails to resolve the tie then the elimination rule is applied.  To apply the board count rule, add up the board numbers won by each team.  The team with the lowest total is the winner. 

 

3. FIXTURES

The first round will be played during the last week in October and the second round during the second week in December.  These weeks will be kept free of league fixtures.

 

4. RESULTS

The results shall be sent promptly to the Tournament Controller.  It is important that where a match is not played because one of the teams withdraws, the other team should notify the Tournament Controller to claim a win. 

 

5. NUMBER OF TEAMS

A club may enter any number of teams in the John Ripley Tournament but no player may play for more than one team in a season. 

 

6. NUMBER OF PLAYERS

The number of players shall be six.

 


 

RULES FOR THE KNOTTY ASH KNOCKOUT TOURNAMENT

 

1. NUMBER OF PLAYERS

Each team shall consist of five players.

 

2. ELIGIBILITY

Entry is restricted to players from any division graded below 130 in
