FIXTURES Re-Issued BR Grade and below

Afternoon​​ All

Due to my being overzealousness​​ in trying to get the fixturing done and out to circulation, I had failed to put BR Grade as part of 2021.As required by our Playing Rules

Clubs queried why there was no Br Grade, I offered an explanation to the clubs concerned so as not to be deceptive. They were asked if they wished to stay as C Grade or be placed as BR Grade as should have been the case from the creation.

The response was 4 for BR Grade and 2 to remain C Grade, majority vote was for BR Grade, this has caused one team to withdraw due to work commitments with a later playing night impacting their players. I am​​ deeply sorry​​ to see them not take part in this year’s darts​​ but genuinely hope they return in 2022​​ and are graded appropriately.

I have been able to create another WAPO team to take over what would have been a Bye,​​ all​​ the grades​​ remain​​ without a Bye.​​ 

The changes will be as follows:

C Grade will become BR Grade –​​ Their Fixtures or Capping Do not change, they will however play Best of 3 Singles​​ and NO Handicap.

CR Grade will become C Grade - Their Fixtures or Capping Do not change, all games are One leg only Plus Handicap

D Grade will become CR Grade - Their Fixtures or Capping Do not change, all games are One leg only Plus Handicap

DR Grade will become D Grade - Their Fixtures or Capping Do not change, all games are One leg only Plus Handicap

There is no impact to the Teams or Fixtures other the Grade name has changed.

BR Grade position 1 to 6​​ has changed slightly.​​ Elephant Castle 1 go from position 3 to position 2​​ and​​ WAPO 6 take position 3 and WAPO 5 take Position 6

If you were in CR Grade position 1 to 6 – you will now​​ be​​ in C Grade position 1 to 6.

If you were in D Grade position 1 to 6 – you will now​​ be​​ in CR Grade position 1 to 6.​​ 

If you were in DR Grade position 1 to 6 – you will now​​ be​​ in D Grade position 1 to 6.

I will adjust the handicaps to reflect that there​​ are​​ only 3 grades and not 4 involved in this​​ year’s​​ handicaps.

PLEASE REMOVE AND DISPOSE OF THE PREVIOUS C, CR, D and DR GRADE FIXTURES

Replace them with the re-issued fixtures now know as BR, C, Cr and D Grade.

The Fixtures and NEW Handicaps will replace those already on the Website​​ by​​ Alan Summers.

I will send the new Fixtures and Handicaps to each club concerned via Email, issue the new fixtures relevant to your team and grade.

Again, I express my apologies for the inconvenience this has caused and hope we can complete a full season of darts with no further disruptions.
