NSDCA Division 2 - Main Details

About the Division:

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.

Rules and Regulations:

The division matches are played under BCF Longplay regulations. The division matches are played with 5 players per team. There are 10 teams in the division. Teams play each other 2 times in a season. The combined grade of the team cannot be more than 725 BCF. If it is then they will be subject to a points deduction depending on how much over the limit the team is. The grade of every player in the division is counted as a minimum of 120 BCF for the team grade only. The players individual grade though will be used for grading scores on their individual game. If a player is graded 135 BCF or over then they can only play for one team in the same division. Any less and they can play for any number of teams (belonging to the same club) in the same division.
