On Saturday 19th July, there will be a Swiss Pairs Competitition over 7 rounds of 7 boards, starting at 1pm and finishing at about 9:15, with a supper break at 5pm.
On Sunday 20th July, there will be a Swiss Teams Competition also over 7 rounds of 7 boards, starting at 11am and finishing at about 7:15, with a lunch break at about 1:45.
The timing to help people who want to stay the week end in Ross, and we have people coming from far and wide. Last year we had 31 tables on the Saturday and 41 on the Sunday.
The event is slickly run by Sarah Amos and Martin Lee, two of the EBU's Senior Congress Tournament Directors, and we shall be using bridgemates to speed up the scoring and assignments, and of course pre-dealt boards with hand records.
Entry costs £22 per player per day, and you can enter just the pairs or just the teams, or both. Food for the meal breaks can be ordered in advance.
