Premier Two Red 2013

There are twenty-four contestants for the 2013 Bristol Premier League Division Two season, four of whom were relegated from Premier One, while another fourteen were in Premier Two last season. The other six have graduated from the ranks of the intermediates.
The 24 players have been arranged into two parallel divisions, Premier Two Blue and Premier Two Red, eighteen as per their finishing positions last year, with the other six randomly drawn into the remaining vacant slots.
In each division 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.
