Rules for the Club Championship Trophy

The Club Championship is an annual competition based on partnership scores in the club duplicate sessions on the fourth Friday of each month.  Each partnership's best six scores in the competition year are added together and the trophy is awarded to the pair with the highest aggregate total. Only pairs where both partners are club members are eligible.


Summary:

  • Annual competition for a partnership winner in our duplicate pairs sessions on the fourth Friday of each month.
  • Our competition year now runs from the beginning of July until the end of the following June (prior to 2012 from September to August)
  • Based on cumulative percentage scores using each partnership's best six percentage scores. 
  • Only scores achieved with players who are club members are eligible. (We will, at our discretion, re-instate scores achieved with non-members who subsequently become members during the competition year)

Under normal circumstances there should be 12 qualifying sessions, one on the fourth Friday of every month but circumstances may cause one or more sessions to be cancelled.  In the event that more than one session is cancelled the number of qualifying scores will be reduced as considered appropriate. For the 2019/2020 competition year the COVID-19 Pandemic caused the cancellation of four qualifying sessions and a further session was lost during the Christmas break so the award was made on the basis of the best four scores rather than the best six.
