In Division 1 there are multiple representatives from Dundee City (A, B & C teams), Ashfield Anonymous (1 & 2), and Wessex (A & B). The two teams with highest average rating in round 1 were Dundee City A (2254) and Streatham & Brixton A (2165), with both winning their first round matches 3-1.

In Div 2, Hebden Bridge 1 (1911) drew their match 2-2 with Atticus (1867). Wessex C (1888) won 3-1.

In Div 3 the highest average rating was Chess Rising Stars (1794) and they got off to a 4-0 winning start.

In Div 4, Isle of Wight are a new entrant with 2 teams. IOW A had an average rating of 1862 in round 1 (highest in division by approx 200 points) and they won their first round 4-0. There were unfortunately 2 full-team defaults in round 1.

I'll post any interesting games I spot. The format appears to be in a bit of flux - if I recall correctly the Divisions 1-3 were last year split into 8-team round robins and later decides by playoff, but I can't immediately find an explanation of format changes for this season.

I'll give my apologies for over-eagerness, the tables for the top 3 divisions are now divided into Groups A & B in this manner (and chances are I was looking in the wrong place all along).
