IN SIMPLE TERMS THE WINNER IS THE MEMBER WHO HAS IMPROVED THEIR LEAGUE TABLE POSITION BY THE MOST PLACES WHEN COMPARING THE AVERAGE % ACHIEVED IN THE CURRENT YEAR AGAINST THE AVERAGE % ACHIEVED IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

AN ESTABLISHED MEMBER MUST HAVE ATTENDED 20 OR MORE BRIDGE SESSIONS IN BOTH THE CURRENT AND THE PREVIOUS YEAR DURING THE PERIOD JANUARY TO THE END OF NOVEMBER.

A MEMBER JOINING IN THE LATTER HALF OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR MUST HAVE ATTENDED AT LEAST 10 BRIDGE SESSIONS AND ACHIEVED 40% OF POSSIBLE ATTENDANCES TO ESTABLISH THEIR LEAGUE TABLE PLACING FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THIS WILL THEN ENABLE A COMPARISON AGAINST THEIR LEAGUE TABLE PLACING FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.

AN ESTABLISHED MEMBER WHO HAS NOT ATTENDED FOR AT LEAST 20 BRIDGE SESSIONS IN BOTH THE CURRENT AND THE PREVIOUS YEAR WILL NOT QUALIFY

NEW MEMBERS JOINING IN THE CURRENT YEAR WILL NOT QUALIFY BUT, IF THEY ATTEND AT LEAST 10 BRIDGE SESSIONS AND ACHIEVE A 40% ATTENDANCE OF POSSIBLE ATTENDANCES, THEN THEY WILL ESTABLISH A LEAGUE TABLE POSITION FOR THE CURRENT YEAR
