CC22 U1600 Forum

Welcome to the 2022 U1600 League.

We move to a 5-tiered system, mirroring the Open League. Divisions 1–4 will have 8 teams and play 7 rounds (Round 1 in April and Round 7 in October). Division 5 will have 7 teams and 6 rounds, April–October.

The target for promotion and relegation is that the top 2 from each division will be promoted, while the bottom 2 will be relegated, but as always this may change depending on the structure of next year's league.

Matches will be announced 2 weeks before the start date, which is the 28th of each month. Please set up matches in the format below. The minimum number of players is set according to division (see below). If a team fails to fill their roster by the start time on the 28th, the match will be forfeited. If both teams fail to fill the roster, both teams will default.

*Please remember that Multi Player rules now apply to all CCCUKI competitions. If a player is registered in one competition such as the Open League/Cup, that player is also registered for their designated team in the U1600 & U1300 competitions as well.
