GENERAL INFORMATION
2023 MVBC Teams Championship winners : Thilak Ranasinghe & Gordon McRobert and George Lovrecz & Kim Frazer
The format of this years' event is expected to be a regular swiss movement with 9 rounds of 8 or 9 boards. The exact format will be determined based on the number of entries. The use of a swiss movement means that after the first round teams will play those who are performing similarly. This means less experienced players will tend to play other less experienced players.
This year, the MVBC Teams Championship will be the official selection qualifier for the 2025 ABF Club Teams Knockout
