Match Programme Changes:
Covid-19 in February and how it affects competitions:
  1. Sunday: Otautahi will be five sessions, not six. Best four scores will be calculated.
  2. Monday afternoon: As this is a 15 session event, missing one is not significant and so the rules do not change.
  3. Monday evening: As both sections are playing 15 night events, missing one is not significant and so the rules do not change.
  4. Tuesday: Two nights only possible (out of three) for the back-to-the-future teams. The winners are the best team after two nights.
  5. Wednesday evening: As both sections are playing 15 night events, missing one is not significant and so the rules do not change.
Bank Cheques: 
Due to the banks not processing cheques anymore, they will not be accepted any longer at the club. Payments can be made by Direct Credit, Eftpos or Cash.

Take care and stay safe.
