The second of the new Redbridge All Sorts teams a new 4NCL Division. As this is the lowest Division, pairings are done on the Swiss system, so opponents are not known from one round to the next until published shortly before the new round. There are no fewer than 66 teams in the Division, representing a huge administrative overhead for the organisers.
Odd scores can crop up, usually caused by application of penalty points. e.g. a defaulted game apart from the score as a win for the opponent, also attracts a half-point penalty.

Our lowest team met the strongest opposition of all the RAS teams, which is quite likely to happen to a team in the lower half of the draw in a team Swiss, with, as here, all new teams having to start in the bottom Division. Good result for Nigel, giving 372 points.
