elect to play the last three rubbers as a single game to 21 points, with setting if required.
Unfinished rubbers in this case will be halved.
|
| b. |

elect to play the last three rubbers to the usual best of three games then any
unfinished rubbers will be automatically lost by the home team.

Match results should be entered on the league website within 21 days of the match taking place.
