GENERAL INFORMATION
2024 MVBC Teams Championship winners : George Lovrecz, Kim Frazer, Kae French, Fraser Thorpe
The format of this years' event is expected to be a regular swiss movement with 9 rounds of 8 or 9 boards. The exact format will be determined based on the number of entries. The use of a swiss movement means that after the first round teams will play those who are performing similarly. This means less experienced players will tend to play other less experienced players.
Members and non-members may enter, only Moonee Valley members can win the title.
