The UK ADLG Rankings have been updated to include all of the competitions staged since Britcon 2018, with a new leader taking over at the top of the pile of 182 UK competition entrants over the last 12 months.

For the first time the UK ADLG rankings feature a revised weighting system in which competitions are grouped into 4 bands, with the bigger events in the year (size being measured by a simple calculation of "players x rounds") being worth more ranking points.

Winning a "top-tier" event is now worth 100 ranking points, with the other placings at that event earning points on a pro-rata basis for each placing from 1st to last. Winning the smallest category of event is now worth 70 points (this was 55 in rankings published prior to August 2018), reducing the differential in ranking points between big and small events compared to prior years.

Each player's best 6 scores over the previous 12 months count towards their current ranking.

The dust of the campaigning season is now gently settling over Daventry following the epic battles of the 2018 BHGS Ancients Doubles held at Battlefield Hobbies.

30 teams took part in total, in an event which was "Roman" themed - but did the Romans hold onto their Empire in the end?
