The emphasis is on a fun, exciting competition experience.
This event will consist of teams of 4-8 players (Boys or Girls – organiser to confirm team size). The scoring format will be finalised on the day although it is likely to be Tie breaks. This is subject to the number of teams that attend on the day itself.
