MP Pairs Competition

Three separate 'sub-competitions' - Spring; Summer; Winter

Held across the membership year [excluding August]

Note: for 2008, there has been a minor change to the scoring method:

To try and reward equally those who are excellent regular scorers and those who have occasional flashes of brilliance mixed with 'best forgotten' nights, we have two slightly different scoring methods.

For the Spring and Winter MP's we operate a Best Scores system, your Best 10 scores are used to calculate your MP average.

For the Summer round [and incidentally for the Rose Bowl] we aggregate all your scores and divide by total attendances.

In all cases there is a minimum attendance to qualify, which is approximately 1/3 of the available duplicates in that competition period.

We review the MP Competitions annually and take account of Member feedback.
