Seeding Information
Division 1
Women’s
In line with the consultation with teams earlier in 2024 seeding at Nationals is based primarily on the results from EUF Spring Tour.
Mixed + Open
There are a number of changes in these divisions in comparison with 2023. The division size has been reduced to 8 teams (previously 12) and with no EUCS qualification there are no longer any Irish teams attending the event. As a result we now have only two pools at Nationals, made up of teams qualifying from two regions. As a result the Competitions Committee decided to assign teams by region so that the two pools are [S1,N2,S3,N4] and [N1,S2,N3,S4].
Division 2
Mixed
With 6 teams entered the tournament will use a 6 team round robin format. Teams have been seeded based on their regionals finishing position.
Open
With 10 teams (entered the tournament teams were paired (N1, S1) (N2, S2) etc and then allocated into pools to achieve an even regional split i.e Pool A [S1, N2, S3, N4, S5], Pool B [N1, S2, N3, S4, N5].
WhatsApp Groups
This weekend for Nationals, we are asking team captains to join a WhatsApp Community for their tournament so that we can communicate any important announcements to teams throughout the weekend. There is also a score submission chat for Div 2 which we’re asking people to join to share scores with the TDs throughout the weekend. Please be aware that numbers will be visible to all those who join the score submission group and you are therefore under no obligation to join if you do not wish for your personal information to be shared. Numbers are not visible in the community.
