  KAY BORE TROPHY

This is for the pair who has the best average over the year.  To qualify a pair must take part in a minimum of one third of the available qualifying evenings to the nearest whole number ie if there are 50,51,52 evenings then the qualifying number will be 17, but if only 47,48,49 it will be 16. The season will  run from 1st December to two weeks before Xmas Party.
Games which involve a break-up of the partnership will not count, nor will singles or Teams of Four.

  HANDICAP PAIRS

One night event probably in October.  Each pair is given a % based on the previous year's performance.  Anyone either above or below 50% mark will have their handicap  either added to or deducted from their score on the night.  A Pair must play a minimum of 3 times during the year.

  INDIVIDUAL CONTEST SHIELD discontinued in 2015.

This shield is won by the Player who accumulates the best average score, having played not less than 25 games between 1st December and 30th November, and having played with more than one partner. In the event of a tie, the award will go to the player who has played with the most partners. All other club competitions will be excluded from this averaging.

(Remember if you win the Kay Bore Trophy you cannot win this shield in the same year.)
