There will be no formal designation of who will compete against whom or where.

There is no semi final round, so the top six teams based on points scored (your top 6 scores count) through the year, plus one discretionary place, go through to the final.

 When a club has decided that it would like to host a round, the captain's position is to invite other clubs to come along and compete. This is done by logging into the website and registering the day and place of the round. When this has been done an email will be sent to all the other captains inviting them to compete. At the point of registering a round, a maximum number of teams will be specified. When a visiting team decides to partake in a round, the captain must log onto the website and register their team for the round. If the maximum number of teams able to partake is reached then the round will close. This registering of teams must be done prior to the round being held so that the round organiser for can enter the scores directly into the website after the event.

 Every time a team joins a round an email will be automatically generated to the round organiser to inform them. The same is done if a team cancels. These emails should not be replied to.

 The round must have at least three different clubs in attendance to validate a round. Two or more teams from the same club can compete against each other at the same time as long as two other clubs are present.

 The captain's of the visiting teams must confirm with the round organiser, whether the round is on for that specified day. It is NOT the job of the round organiser to chase visiting clubs to confirm attendance or not. This can be done via the website, smartgroups or telephone.

 To assist in the organisation of rounds, a Smartgroups group has been set up for the BCC competition.

It is britishclubchallenge@smartgroups.com.

To subscribe please send an email to britishclubchallenge-subscribe@smartgroups.com, or request the BCC organiser to send you an invitation.

 This discussion group is for team captains to discuss issues and setting up rounds.
