Club numbers are always allocated in ascending order within an Association.

Reusing Numbers

Over time, some clubs may fold, leaving a blank in the list of tables. Associations have different ways of dealing with this issue.

Round Table Great Britain & Ireland leaves the number available for potential clubs recharting in the same area. Round Table Morocco has a strict policy of not reusing numbers once a club folds.

Once a number is no longer used for 2 years in Round Table Germany, the number becomes available to the next charting club. This allows clubs to connect with numbers meetings that would otherwise have no RT Germany representation.

Numbering Oddities

Heirs of RT Indian Ocean

Since Round Table Seychelles and Round Table Mauritius were part of the same association, Round Table Indian Ocean, a strange situation emerged after it split. Round Table Seychelles consisted only of even-numbered clubs, while Round Table Mauritius consisted only of odd-numbered clubs. This quirk has become a staple of the associations and remains valid today.

Heirs of RT Central Africa

Round Table Malawi has three clubs, numbered 20, 32, and 69. This is because these clubs were once part of a much bigger Association, Round Table Central Africa.

When 13 (tbc) clubs left RT Central Africa to form Round Table Zambia, they renumbered all their clubs, such that they numbered from 1 upwards.
