The success of the Champagne Leagues in their first four seasons means that Pol Roger, our favourite Champagne House, has agreed to extend its sponsorship of this most popular event for a further year!
We aim to fill the Divisions of the Champagne Leagues
by the starting date of Monday 5th May 2014.
The rules:
Each Division will be split into groups, with 6 players per group. Competitors will play each of the other five players in their Group over the summer; Group matches are to be played before Monday 7th July 2014.
All matches will be played off handicap consisting of one set, first to eight games. Group Winners will be those who won the most number of matches. In the event of a draw, games won, games lost and the score in match of the tied parties will be taken into account.
The winners of each of the group will go through to the Knockout stage in their Division. The Knockout Tournament will occur on the evening of Friday 12th September and all day on Saturday 13th September.
The prizes:
On Saturday 13th September:
4 The 4 semi-finalists of each Division will receive a prize of a bottle of Drouhin-Vaudon Reserve de Vaudon 2012.
4 The Winners of each Division will also receive a bottle of Pol Roger Brut Reserve Champagne
