Going forward for the rest of the 2014-15 season, there will be two large flights instead of three. The results from Flight Three matches were incorporated into the new Flight Two standings.
Several Flight Two players qualified to move up to Flight One. This is reflected in the Flight Two standings - the players below the solid line are now full time Flight One players. This means they will predominately play Flight One matches. As before, there will still be commingling and the schedule will indicate in which flight the results will be recorded. Typically, if at least two players from the higher flight participate, the match is recorded in the higher flight. Click to view the new flights and standings. This is the way the flights will remain until the end of the season. Major awards will be given to the winner of each flight. To qualify for flight titles, players must play at least 13 total sessions within the flight by the end of the season. An exemption for players moving up to Flight One - these players only have to play a total of 7 sessions within Flight One. Keep in mind the 26th week is the A/B Tournament and will not count in the season standings.
