Club Championship Playoffs

The semi-finals and final for the Club Championships are competed between
  • first in the table as of 2 May 2024 (Steve Levy) vs fourth (Phil McConnell)
  • the second in the table (David Archer) vs third (Cathy Black)

As of 2 May, Phil and Cathy were equal in the table on 9½ points, and the tie-break for third place was resolved by the fact that Cathy's points-per-game ratio was better than Phil's. (Cathy got her 9½ points from 15 games as opposed to Phil's 16).
