Fixtures & League Tables

U14 Format:
There are 8 teams in the first phase: each team plays each other once (3 triangular tournaments and one single game.)
The single games should be played 4 x 10 min
In the second phase, there are 7 teams: each team plays each other once (3 triangular tournaments)

U16 Format:
There are 9 teams: each team plays each other twice (for most teams, 8 triangular tournaments)
In order to make the fixtures fit, there is an exception for Bristol, Gloucester and Stroud, who will play 9 tournaments, with two games noted in the fixture list not counting for league points.

General notes:
It could be possible to change the date of a tournament from Saturday to Sunday of the same weekend if necessary, by agreement of all three teams. However, please note that this may not be possible in many cases due to court/staff/team availability or clashes with other games.
Please do not request other date changes, as this will disrupt the balance of the fixture list. Whilst the current schedule is not perfect, no team is required to play on consecutive weekends.
Remember that the triangular format (preferred by most teams, does rely on all teams to fulfill fixtures as scheduled. Withdrawal from a tournament will cause a great deal of inconvenience (teams travelling long distances for a single game) and also has potential financial consequences for the hosts. Should a team withdraw, they should expect a heavy fine to be levied: hopefully this will not occur.
