From 2023, under the new international rules, players will “Lag” for break. The decision was made that for the 2023 season the 1st player in your block of 6 will lag for the first frame, then players will alternate thereafter to break, up to and including game 6.
For Game 7, players will Lag again, and games 8 to 12 will alternate who breaks.
For both the Captains and the Vice Captains games, the home team will always break.
Teams should arrive at their match venue by 8pm. The Draw for the first 6 games should take place before 8:15pm, followed at 8:15pm by the Captains vs Captains, then Vice Captains vs Vice Captains games.
