Round Robin Information
The round Robin has replaced the old knock out league. In the round robin there are four leagues, with four teams in each. All the teams in each round robin league are picked at random. Each team plays home and away, with the first and second place team in each round robin group progressing to the knock out quarter finals. The quarter final fixtures are drawn at random before any round robin game has been played, and are at neutral venues. The winner of each quarter final games goes through the knock out semi-finals (also drawn randomly). The winner of the semi-finals goes into the round robin final. During the knock out stages if the game is drawn then at the end of the last game, an extra end is play to determine the winning team. In the 2015-16 pre-season meeting a vote took place, in which it was decided that each round robin game is played for seven ends (not eight ends).
In the group stage the away team is allowed a 10 minute practice before the game, no roll up takes place at neutral venues. Food is provided at the discretion of the home team during the group stages, captains should agree between each other on whether they want to provide food before the game. League tables for the round robin are below.
