Great news this week with confirmation that the 2020 regional Superchamps competition will take place as scheduled on the week of 20-26 July.
What is Superchamps?
The District and National Superchamps events are played to identify the strongest club in the country for each grade. Teams are composed of five players per club that are in the same grade (B, C, D, E and F/J for both men and women). At the District Superchamps clubs in a single district play off to find the district champion in each grade. The district champion is then eligible to travel to the National Superchamps finals to play off for the national title. Teams contest ties in round-robin and/or knockout format, with the team that wins three or more matches declared the winner.
The 3-matches played rule has been waived for the 2020 competition.
All players must have a current club referee qualification as at 20th July 2020 to be eligible to play in the Auckland regional Superchamps.
The 2020 Auckland District Superchamps competition will be held the week of July 20-26.
Dates of preliminary play subject to team entry levels - finals will be played Sunday July 26th.
