Premier One 2013

There are thirteen contestants for Bristol Premier League Division One for the 2013 season, eight of whom retained their places through their 2011 efforts, four of whom won automatic promotion from Premier Two, and one took up an extra place by getting closest to automatic promotion.
Players play each other twice in 11-point matches, in a season spanning the eleven months from January to November.
Players arrange their own fixtures, at mutually acceptable venues and times, with Bristol Backgammon's Monday and Thursday sessions being prime opportunities.
