2009/10 Internal League Tournament

There are two major changes to the rules from last year:

  1. You can now earn a half game point for playing a game if you lose - this is to encourage participants to play all their games.

  2. There will be a play off between the winners of divisions 2 & 3 for the Challenge Cup. This is because the winner of division 1 will be presented with one cup and the other cup will be presented to the play off winner.
