Welcome

The Winter (Gender) Pairs is a two week pairs event running on the 9th June & 23rd June with a break in the middle for NSBC Festival of Bridge.

This event is also awarding CC points for the John Brownie Cup.

Prizes

  • 🥇 Best Men's Pair = $100
  • 🥈 Best Women's Pair = $100

Event Format

This will use Matchpoint scoring (sorry it was incorrectly shown as IMPs earlier) and we have enough entries to run separate fields for Men's and Women's pairs. No mixed pairs have entered this event.

Entries & Payments


Entries and payments are managed via the MyABF (utilising NSBC prepayment system). NSBC members are reminded to select "Club PP System" when entering otherwise you will be charged the full visitor fee. NSBC member entry fee = $42 ($14 per session) Visitor entry fee = $51 ($17 per session)

Format

The (expected) format for this event is a continuous Howell movement running over three sessions. The final format is contingent on the number of entries. Scoring is Matchpoints. Yellow systems are not allowed.

Player Substitutes


All player subsitutitions, even last minute ones, must be approved by the tournament committee. Please make your best effort to subsitute a player of comparable standard. Players deemed by the tournament commitee to not be of comparable standard may result in score adjustments. Take a moment to think ahead of players you could consider in the case of needing a subsitute.
