You will be put into the league if you sign up as a player.
Sessions will run October 1st to December 23rd (12 weeks starting on a Friday).
Please note that regular play continues on statutory holidays.

RATINGS:
You will need a mandatory rating to enter all rated leagues 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0.
If you want to enter a rated league but have no formal rating speak to Pete Schelling early and arrange a formal rating. Contact him at peteschelling@gmail.com
If you are a spare and would like to be part of the rated leagues then please let me know your rating when making the request.
The ratings assessment is a great way to find the areas of your game you can improve. We have excellent coaches to guide you toward your goals.
