Tournament History

The BFACT Interclub teams has been run since 2003 to give players an opportunity to represent their clubs in a relatively low-key teams event.  Until 2013, the competition had 3 Rounds plus final in Senior and Restricted categories.

From 2014 it has been run as a single-day event offering four categories, and with multiple teams permitted from one club in a category.
