Final results for 2026 Fixed Income Solutions Stratified Pairs
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, in each category, these fantastic prizes:
🥇 1st place – $200 per pair
🥈 2nd place – $150 per pair
🥉 3rd place – $100 per pair
Congratulations to BEVERLEY PETERS - CHRISTINE VINSON for winning the OPEN (>750 MPs), TINA STRICKLAND - LYDIA GIBBS placing 2nd, and LEO GOOREVICH - HELEN MILWARD placing 3rd.
