16/12/2021 Second Half Comps
Draws for the Club Championships and Silver Badges are now up on the Club Competitions page. Handicap competitions are also still up and available to view, but have now been combined into a single file, except for the two national competitions, the Arthur Ross and the Don Reyland Stars. Players are encouraged to get underway with their second half games as soon as possible, and it would be great if everyone could get two games in each competition done by the end of January considering how busy February and March are with tournaments.
