TC - NSBC Club Championship

The NSBC tournament committee has decided to re-establish the process to determine an annual NSBC Club Champion. The NSBC Club Champion is to be awarded to a club member for execellent performance in a basket of defined club & festval events during the year. This is a similar process (but different events) that the old Lindfield Club Champion process. The NSBC Events that will be used to decide our 2018 club champion are:

 

Event Venue Date Inportance (Weight)
Blue Ribbon Pairs championship EL Jan-Feb 1x
Men's Pairs Championship CW Feb 1x
Women's Pairs Championship CW Feb 1x
Mixed Pairs Championship CW Feb-Mar 1x

Festival Saturday Congress Swiss Pairs CW Jun 1x
Festival TBIB Sunday Congress Teams CW Jun 2x

Each event winners (down to 7th) will score club members a number of points that will be accumulated over the 12 events in the year. The standard points to be awarded to for each event are:

1st = 10pts, 2nd=7, 3rd=5; 4th=4; 5th=3; 6th=2; 7th=1pt

 

Our 3 major sponsored events will be awarded 2x ie double points because of their significance to the club.

 

Whilst the NSBC has previously not awarded the Club Championship; The winners have been calculated for all the previous years using this methodolgy since the club started in 2007 by the merger of Lindfield, Willoughby & Cove bridge clubs. The 2018 NSBC will be the 29th winner of a Club Championship award.
