​​​County Red Card Competitions​​​

These competitions commonly known as "Red Card" competitions were named after the red cards that members used to receive when registering to play under the County and Welsh affiliation. You needed a "Red Card" to be able to play in these events. In recent years the physical cards have been phased out due to the time it takes and the work needed to provide every member in Wales with the card.

There is a competition for Singles, Pairs, Triples and Rinks with the top 3 or 4 in the county then going forward to the National Finals to compete against other qualifiers from all over Wales.
