Revised Grading System for Club Graded Competitions


By Sam Allen - Posted on 13 July 2006

Due to an overly large amount of A and B Grade players and a low amount of C Grade players participating in the clubs graded competitions, the grading structure has been revised.

The Grading now stands to have a small A Grade and medium sized B Grade instead of a huge A & B Grade contingent.

A Grade will now ONLY comprise of 8 players. The grade will be our 'premier' grade, containing only the clubs best players. To remain in the grade the player must play consistantly well and consistantly better than those in B Grade.

B Grade will now contain those removed from A grade and a portion of those who were in B Grade. B Grade will be the stepping stone for those who play well to reach A Grade.

C Grade now has more players due to the re-shuffle.

All graded competitions are still handicapped so there's no need for concern about A grade players being in B Grade or etcetera. Gradings will be re-assessed a various points throughout the year.

We hope this system will both level the playing field a bit and encourage all our players to play well and attain a higher grading.
