The first of the four divisions currently governed by the grade limitations, teams are made up of five players and can only have a combined total of 725 points under ECF grades. To prevent a weakened set of lower boards, each player is graded a minimum of 120 points for team purposes only. Last season Macclesfield beat Cheddleton C to the title in a thrilling finale. This season the grade limit has been increased to cope with changes to national grades, although when comparing like for like this is slightly lower. Additions of Alsager and a second Newcastle team mean that with 10 teams, this is one of the highest numbers for some time.
