BAMBERGER TROPHY |
Replaces the Bamberger Teams of Four Competition held annually in July.
A charity IMP pairs competition played annually either online or face-to-face where all players will play the same 24 boards. Robot pairs or partnerships that include a robot may play, but these scores are excluded from the calcuation. If there is a half table in the f2f event, the scores will be factored to take account of the missing pair. The scores will be combined, and the winners will be the “team” made up of the winning NS pair and the winning EW pair.

HANDICAP SCORES CALCULATION |
Handicaps are based on the average actual percentage scores for the previous 12 months taken away from 50.00.
Examples: For a member with a 12 month average of 52.51% the handicap would be -2.51 and for an average of 46.25% the handicap would be +3.75.
Handicaps are recalculated and updated by the Bridgewebs program on the 18th of each month.
For members who have not played at least 5 times in the previous 12 months and for visitors their handicap will be -5.00.
For a pair, their handicap will be the average of the combined individual handicaps.
The handicap score is the sum of the actual % score and the handicap.
