The 2009 CCLA TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS will be offered in both server and postal form. The CCLA SERVER TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS will have an entry deadline of March 15 and consist of teams of 6 players. The POSTAL CCLA TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS will continue to have an entry deadline of June 1, but the size of each team has been reduced to 6 players. The entry fee for both events will be $8, except for team captains who play for free.

IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY A TEAM CAPTAIN IN THE 2007 TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS, now is a good time to contact your players to find out if they want to play in 2009 on a server team, a postal team, or both. You can then decide whether you are likely to form one or two teams. Please keep Verna Fausey (Contacts) informed of your intentions.

DO YOU WANT TO BE A TEAM CAPTAIN IN 2009?, Please contact Verna Fausey (Contacts) and specify whether its to be for a server or a postal team, or hopefully for one of each.
