 | Heather Styles I am pleased to announce the third annual Newcomers' Knockout tournament and look forward to receiving sign-ups :) |
| Heather Styles Pleased to have four on board so far - do spread the word :) |
| Heather Styles Welcome, Paul and AJ :) |
 | Tracey Mills seconded Heather :) |
| Heather Styles Still time to sign up :) It is likely that this will, in fact, be a round robin tournament rather than a knockout - thank you, Andy, for this suggestion. That will mean that everyone plays everyone else and then the top two overall play each other. Watch this space... |
 | Andy SC Thanks Heather, thought it would make more sense to with number of players |
| Heather Styles Sign-ups are now closed (I decided to leave them open for one more day in case of late interest). Fixtures to follow... |
| Heather Styles I have now set it up so that everyone plays everyone else in a best-of-3 match. I will score this by total games (not matches) won and then total points scored. |
| Heather Styles Sorry, I have just realised that my scoring system is flawed, because some matches have two games and others have three. I need to think how to make it fair. |
| Heather Styles The only fair way that I can think of is that I score by matches won and then total points scored in winning games. I hope everyone is happy with this. |

 | Ru Maxwell I missed the sign up Heather, take it too late to ask politely now? :) |
| Heather Styles It's good to see that lots of games have already been played - still a couple of weeks to go... |
| Heather Styles One week to go now - good luck to all with remaining games :) |
 | Robert Miller Thanks Heather! |
| Heather Styles Deadline for completion of games extended until Tuesday 8th September. |
