After considering a number of options the Summer of 2025 6s has been changed.
Points to note
- The original programme assumed enough players to cover 80 %+ of matches.
- Fewer players than expected mean Hartleyvale is no longer required as a venue.
- Scheduling follows admin polls but Hartleyvale groups will train at CC without major time changes.
- To maximise active playing time, most matches use 6 v 6; 70s and Ladies may use 6 v 6, 7 v 7 or 8 v 8.
- Late replies won’t be penalised, but admins should track who’s confirmed to avoid unconsented time-slot changes.
