Entry is open to non-members.  Entry fee for memberes is $55.  Entry fee for non-members is $65.

Players will be divided into groups of 6 by standard.  Each player will play every other player in the group once.  At the end of the initial round-robin, everybody will have one play-off match (1st v 2nd, 3rd v 4th & 5th v 6th).  This means everybody will get 6 matches for the season (5 round-robin matches and 1 play-off match.  The aim is to give everybody 6 matches, so the season can be extended where a match is washed out.
