All competitions (except the Mixed Triples) will conclude on Finals Weekend in September. Please be sure you are available to compete on that weekend (see Club Calendar of Fixtures).
For the preliminary rounds of all Singles competitions and the Nominated Pairs, the contestants must arrange the date and time of their match. The 'play-by' dates for each round will be published on the draw sheets. In the draw: the 'first-named' or 'first-drawn' entrant(s) is called the 'Challenger', who is/are responsible for arranging the match before the ‘play-by date’. They are also responsible for booking a rink and, in a singles game, arranging a 'Marker'. The 'second named' is called the Opponent. Early communication between contestants is important. Contact information for all club members is available in the Members Login Area of the club website.
