The much anticipated format for this year’s Wobbly Hobby League, the UK and Ireland Club League has been announced.
The Format
DAY 1
Teams will be split into 4 groups – 3 groups of 5, and 1 group of 6. The pots are as follows, honouring the results of 2023:Pot 1 – Yorkshire Phoenix, Stanway Rovers, Harrow Hawks, White Star.Pot 2 – Cardiff Bluebirds, Glasgow A, Glasgow TF, Pedmore.Pot 3 – Wolverhampton, Kent Invicta, London & Surrey, Bristol.All other teams will be drawn randomly.
Teams will play all opponents in their group. This will take 9 Sessions. The matches will follow FISTF procedure.
The order of tiebreak for group placings is as follows: Points; Head-to-Head Winner; Overall Win Difference; Overall Wins For; Goal Difference in Head-to-Head.
The top 4 teams in each group will qualify to the main knockout on Day 2. The group placing will dictate the draw to incentivise good performance. The other 5 teams will enter the consolation event.
DAY 2
The Top 16 will enter a direct knockout competition. This will be played to exact placings – for example, a team that loses in the Last 16 will still have 3 more matches against opponents with the same record.
The 5 teams in the consolation event will enter a single group of 5 to decide 17th place and beyond.
Day 2 will have 9 sessions total. All teams are expected to stay and complete their placement matches until the tournament is complete. All teams will play 8 or 9 games across the weekend.
This year’s competion will also include a live draw tonight from the new venue in Flitwick. Schedules, fixtures and results can be found here throughout the weekend.
