In the event of a tie in Club Competitions, the individual or pair with the greatest number of 'tops' shall be deemed the winner. In circumstances when teams tie, the result will be decided on the points scored against each other. In the event of a continuing tie, the Committee will examine the score sheets and select a winner by the most equitable parameters available.

Simultaneous Pairs events are played only on Club Nights (Fridays) and are for Club members only.

Participation in Club Competitions is open to non-members but they will not be eligible to win prizes and non-members will negate eligibility of the member(s) they are partnering.

These statements assume that there is space available for non-members.

The Guide below is currently subject to the approval of the committee and should any competition queries  arise the Secretary will be pleased to advise you or pass you on to the relevant person

Bredon Individual Cup G ....  This event will be scheduled to be played in late September/early October.

Scorers Cup G .... This competition runs throghout the calendar year and all pairs events held during the year will be included in the calculation. There is a minimum number of 15 qualifying round to be eligable for this competition.

Scorers Cup H .... As for the gross competition, the handicaps to apply will be calculated and added/deducted at the end of each calendar month. This ensures that the handicap truly reflects the pairs playing performance at any given time in the calendar year.

In the event that both Scorers Cups are won by the same Pair then the Handicap Cup will be presented to the runner up in that competition.

Most Improved PairG  ....  To encourage improving players, this will go to the pair achieving the greatest percentage rise, again the minimum qualifying number will be 15 rounds. Example of calculation  an increase of 40 to 44% would represent an increase of 10% where as a rise from 50 to 54% would be a gain of 8%
