BCCA teams in the BCCL

Just as last season, BCCA will be entering 5 teams into the webserver BCCL (British CC League) and 2 teams into the postal BCCL. There are 8 players per webserver team (40 players in total) & 6 players per postal team (12 players in total). These players have all been taken from the BCCA match squad and the players who ticked the appropriate boxes on their membership renewal forms.

We hope to get the postal league up & running by the end of this month.

There will be a delay in the start of the webserver league due to a current technical problem on the ICCF server. ICCF are working to resolve this in December & we will start the league as soon in early January if we can.
