The organising committee reserves the right to amalgamate and divide events depending on the participant numbers.

Competition Format

Events will typically consist of a round-robin group format followed by a knockout stage. Each team will be guaranteed a minimum of 3 games in the round-robin format. All competition/events will start and take place on one day.

 

Play will commence from 9am each day and the medal ceremony will conclude the day at approximately 17:00. Due to scheduling complexities, it will not be possible to request that your matches take place at a certain time - competitors must be available from the start of play each day. Once your matches finish, please stick around and cheer on your fellow competitors throughout the rest of the competition.

​

Players must register and attend a competition briefing 15 minutes before the scheduled start of play. During this briefing, the exact competition structure will be explained for each event (number of points, knockout format).

The fees for the Kukri Irish Nationals are as follows. Event entry fees are non-refundable.
