Summer Mini League 2025
Mini League Fixutres
There are three mini leagues all with four teams.
The three winners and the best runners up will then compete in the semi finals.
Each team will play the other teams in their league home and away.
Each match in the league stages and the finals is the best of nine frames of singles.
The matches consist of 3 sets of 3 frames.
Within each set three different players have to be used.
(Though a player can play in one, two or all three sets.)
A team can thus play a match with any number between 3 and 9 different players.
Two players can not play each other more than once in a match.
The subs from the July and August meetings will be used to create a mini-league prize pot.
Team sheets for the Mini League can be downloaded from the Downloads page.
