Singles/Pairs
During the year there are also two other tournaments - one for pairs and one for singles. In each of 8 separate venues, players (or pairs) play in a simple knock-out competition on the night. The 8 winners from each venue then play in a finals night, again on a knock out basis to determine the overall winner.
The singles trophy is named after Mike Pratt, former player of the Players, who died in 2007. The Pairs trophy was named after Jim Grocott, who played for the Builders and died in 2006.
