| DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE - CUP |
DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE CUP Various Tuesdays during January to March
The most prestigious invitation Teams event in London for non-bridge clubs!
Each team (two pairs sitting N-S and E-W on different tables) plays rubber bridge against their opposing team’s pairs – simultaneously – using duplicated boards. When rubber is made at one table, play stops at that hand on the other table as well, and both tables score up. Then a new rubber starts at both. Play stops after 28 boards when the scores of the two pairs are added together and team with the highest aggregate score wins.
