Week 7 Results: The format for next week will be that the teams in the same pool will play each other in the various semi finals since you played across pools in the pool stages. This avoids you playing teams you have just played.
|
Summer 1 day Mixed Open Tournament: Registration for the AberdeenTouch summer 1 day Mixed open tournament is now open. We are open to teams of all levels and abilities and, as the annual tournament is NOT a designated STS this year, it is a great opportunity for less experienced teams to play in a less pressurised environment.
|
Week 5 Results: here are the scores from week 5 games. A few things to note: you are playing the teams in the opposite pool and points accrue as normal. A few players are still wearing trainers which causes a danger to yourself and, more importantly, to the opposition. I will be looking out for this next week and anyone wearing trainers will be ask to stop playing and leave the field.
WEEK 5 SCHEDULE: Hi all, here is the format of the cup competition for this year. There will be 2 pools, one of 4 and one of 5. Each team will play all the teams IN THE OPPOSITE POOL. This give 5 games each for the smaller pool and 4 each for the larger. Points accrued as normal.
The top 2 teams in each pool will then compete in a Cup Semi-final (losers to compete for the Quaich). Next 2 teams go to the Tankard SF, winner to the Tankard Final and losers to a mini-league round robin with 5th placed team in Pool A.
New for this year: 40 minute Men's games (still 25 minute games for the women's teams). Please see attached fixtures.
Enjoy the Cup and remember, there is silverware up for grabs for teams of all levels!
PLEASE CHECK YOUR FIXTURES!
REVISED Schedule for Week 4: here are the REVISED fixtures for Wednesday. Please check the attached spreadsheet. After this week we will move to the Cup competition with 2 pools, one with 5 teams and another with 4. Seeding will be on the league positions after Wednesdays games.
Week 3 Results: here are the results from Week 3 games. Now that ConocoPhillips have officially withdrawn, the fixtures for next week and the tables will have to be redone, so please look out for the updated fixture list.
Note to players: DO NOT play in trainers or boots with screw in studs, last warning. Trainers are dangerous for the opposition as you cannot stop quickly. Screw in studs are useless on hard ground and have the same effect as trainers.
Registration for the Men and Women's league is also now open and will close on 23rd May. Games start on 30th May.
Week 2 Results: here are the Week 2 results and updated tables. I have had to rejig the games for Week 3 so please pay attention to the revised schedule.
Just a few notes for player safety: no watches or jewellery to be worn while playing; please don't play in trainers, you can't stop quickly and collisions can result in injury; equally NO metal studs.
Finally, if any teams have trophies from last year, can they return them asap for this years recipients.

Can everyone please make sure they wear moulded studs or blades and not trainers or metal screw-ins for the following weeks.
