The first games to be played in the League Cup, which will be played under the new format for this season.
Firstly, an (abbreviated) reminder of the rules that these games will be played under:-
A new format has been agreed by the committee for this season's league cup, which starts on 2nd December.
The competition will be run on normal (All England) playing rules - same as league competition - but a handicap will apply.
There will be 10 matches, as last year. The first 7 will be simple 'all plays all', either home or away. The final 3 matches will be on a regional (North/South) basis to try to minimise traveling - venues will be the reverse of the corresponding phase 1 match. Each team will have 5 home and 5 away games.
A handicap system will apply in all 10 games. The intention of this is:
We will be using a simple handicap based purely on each team's average game score in the first half of the league competition. There will be no consideration of individual player rating, table rating or home/away differences.
Now, in each league cup match the captain of the 'weaker' team can choose any 3 games to apply the handicap to. In each of those 3 games the 'weaker' player will be given a starting score equal to the difference in handicaps. The 3 games will be nominated after the draw, and before the start of the first game.
And a reminder of the handicaps that will apply in these matches....
Team handicaps have now been calculated:
And, finally, the matches that are due to be played on Monday 2nd December.....
