4NCL On Line League Season 3, Round 1
The first round of the new season of the on-line 4NCL (senior) league was played on Tuesday 26/01/2021.
Last “season”, Divisions 1 to 5 were each split into 4 all-play-all 8-team sections, followed by knock-out semi-finals and final contested between section winners. The bottom division, Division 6, was run as a 68-team Swiss. That all involved a total of 228 teams.
This season, the number of teams is up to a record 258, these teams being arranged in 7 divisions. Divisions 1 to 6 are of 32 teams, while Division 7 is of 66 teams. The idea of Sections has been scrapped for the new season, with each Division being run initially as a 7-round Swiss tournament, using start rankings based on the previous season’s placings. There are then to be knock-out semi-finals and final in each Division.
Division 4 contains two Sheffield-based team are playing, both in Division4: Darnall & Handsworth, and Sheffield Deaf (the latter promoted from last season).
Round 1 results of the 2 Sheffield-based teams were as follows:
