Final results for 2025 Fixed Income Solutions Stratified Pairs

fis stratified

 

This novel Championship event was conducted both face-to-face and online, with identical boards played at East Lindfield and on RealBridge.  

The event took place during all the Saturday afternoon sessions in March. To be eligible for the competition, pairs had to play in at least 3 sessions at either venue (you could mix it up if desired). Everyone was welcome to play in these otherwise normal afternoon sessions. The top 3 scores  determined the overall results so the more sessions played improved the chances of winning.

The Fixed Income Solutions Stratified Pairs has now come to a thrilling conclusion, and we are excited to announce the overall winners across our four categories: Open, Intermediate, Restricted, and Rookie.

 

Thanks to the generous sponsorship from Fixed Income Solutions, we were able to offer fantastic prizes:
🥇 1st place – $200 per pair
🥈 2nd place – $150 per pair
🥉 3rd place – $100 per pair
