Format
Teams are divided into 5 divisions. Division 1, Division 2E and Division 2W each have 16 teams, Division 3NE and Division 3SW have around 20 teams, with promotion and relegation at the end of each season. Fixtures are arranged so that all teams in a division meet once during the season.
Each fixture has 4 clubs with 2 men and 2 women from each club competing in each event.
Each athlete scores points in their event towards the team’s overall score (an athlete can be in different strings or a non-scorer for each event).
