2022-23 Handicap Snooker League

16 Jul 2022

NEW COMPETITION FORMAT

MONDAY NIGHTS

A new format that combines all snooker teams leagues/competitions.

Scheduled to start MONDAY 1st AUGUST.

This league is OPEN TO ALL GRADES and multiple grades per team are encouraged.

Our member clubs have many varied levels of players so this format is designed to equalise competition.

This is a FLUCTUATING HANDICAP model that is currently played in Division 2 and Wednesday Nights Teams competitions.

Playing the required amount of games your handicap will fluctuate and be within a reasonable band based of your overall performance and to encourage players to compete at all times the incentive for the top 16 in each grade to be offered a seeded position in the knockout singles championships where you will compete for PRIZEMONEY.

League duration will depend heavily on teams registered however it's intention would be to run into Q1 of 2023 allowing for a recess period for Christmas/New Year holiday period, followed by the singles championships.
