The Northern League is a series of 5 one day competitions. Each is a separate event, so players my enter as many or few events as they wish. However, there is also an overall championship, for which each player's best 4 scores are are counted. The cost of each round is £5 per player. This is a Singles competition,but players may enter as a pair if they wish.

This will be the third year for ADLG at the Northern League.Last year we had around 12-14 players/teams per round. New players are always welcome.

Each event will consist of 3 games of 2.25 - 2.5 hours. For the first round event the first game draw will be based on army dates, although nobody will be drawn against anyone from the same club. The second and third game draws will be done using the normal Swiss system. Scoring will be the standard method from the ADLG website and each event's results will be submitted for UK and International rankings.

First game draws for future rounds will be based on each player's current overall position, with the proviso that nobody will be drawn against anyone they played in the previous round.

There is no formal entry process and the fee may be paid on the day. However, if you wish to enter please send an Army List to Mick Hood (mh014c5606@gmail.com) at least two weeks before the event.

If you wish to enter one or more rounds but don't have a suitable army please message me as I may be able to help.
