Knockout competition
The popular knockout competition was introduced in 2000.
The draw is made early in the year and all races are run during spring and summer under handicap conditions.
Any mutually agreed race can be run for the earlier rounds but the final is held on the league final day.
The champion is awarded with an engraved shield on the presentation day.
The 2008 season sees a change to the Knockout competition. Competitors will now be drawn into groups of 4 and will race under handicap against every other person in that group.
The winners of each group will go through to the semi finals. So this year the winner of the Knockout Competition will have to win 4 races (instead of 3 as in previous years).
