Bateman & Tournaments

This is a knockout, handicap competition which runs throughout the season. Each team is given a handicap of goals which they start each match with. The number of goals allocated as the handicap depends upon a team's position in the league at the start of the competition (e.g. Div 1 teams are given fewer goals, Div 7 teams are given the most goals). This "evens" out the chances of the teams and allows for closer competition. It also gives lower-placed teams a greater opportunity of winning against higher-placed teams.

First round losers go into the Per Ardua (Plate) competition and both competitions culminate in a final to be played at the end of the season.
