Eighteen teams met for the last of six rounds of the 2019 TWITs (The Waikato Interclub Teams) on Friday 23rd of August. The six Open teams had completed a double round-robin over the preceding five outings and the Intermediate/Junior section of ten teams a single round-robin plus a filler last month.

The Hamilton Intermediate team Cinders which was comprised principally of Karen Thomson, Kim Thompson, Roger Gunning, and Ian Ross with three or four ring-ins over the season had held Indie TWIT hostage for the whole season. They were so far in front that we promoted them to the Open section for the last night so we could run a Multiple Teams event. They even came third in that session.

The format for this event has been changed - the "Restricted" requirement for the Teams has been removed

Teams are able to be either -

* a regular team of 4 players with NO player grade requirements

* a pair of players - no restriction on grades with these pairs being drawn to make up teams

Any queries then please contact Dallas
