Hi all
With a record 74 pairs taking part this year, round one of the Open Doubles was held over the weekend.
The weekend was enjoyed by all with a great atmosphere at the groups I attended, as well as some top eight ball (and some not-so-pretty stuff as well…).
Attached are the results for Round One. Note that the Top 3 qualified from each group. Round Two, to be held this weekend 15/16 August, includes the introduction of the top 8 seeds to make it interesting. I will send these groups out later this afternoon once they are finalised.
There will be four groups of 8 in Round Two, with the Top 4 qualifying in each group for round 3. It will be played over 3 round robins as usual.
Well done to all pairs who qualified, and well played to the pairs who missed in out in what was a tough qualifying format.
