SILK

Back to top

A new individual tournament, open to all, is being orgainsed by the SSA for 2008 - SILK: Scottish Individual League and Knockout. At all stages of the event, entrants will play three games against each opponent. The first stage will run in all-play-all (round robin) sections from February to September, in three regions: North, East and West, with two players qualifying from each region to a six-player final at a central venue, to be played over the weekend of 18-19 October.

Regional games are played by arrangement between the players, at their homes, clubs or at midway venues offered by other players. Players should make their own arrangements for an adjudicator to be present. All three games should normally be played on the same day (e.g. three in one evening, or getting together to play six on a weekend day).

The entrants for 2008 are -

North Region - 8 players

Margaret Armstrong, Jean Gallacher, Lorraine Gordon, Rhoda Gray, Michael Harley, Neil Scott, Kate Surtees, Sheena Wilson

West Region - 4 players

Moya Dewar, Ross Mackenzie, Philips Owolabi, Raymond Tate

East Region - 10 players

Group X - Simon Gillam, Carol Malkin, Colin Nicol, Anne Steward, Tom Wilson

Group Y - Owen Bondin, Amy Byrne, Margaret Harkness, Anne Ramsay, Sylvia Swaney

In the North and West regions, the initial stage will be an all-play-all, with the top two finishers (on games and spread) progressing to the final. In the East region, each group will play an all-play-all, with the top two from each group going through to a regional playoff (carrying forward their three games against their fellow qualifier, and playing three against each qualifier from the other group). The top two from the regional playoff will progress to the final.
