| Qualifying heats and arrangements for District and National competitions |
For all clubs holding qualifying heats for one or more of the following competitions, arrangements are as follows (with changes from last year highlighted in bold). Please note in particular the changes to arrangements for the National Pairs introduced by the SBU.
District Pairs: Qualifying heats are held in clubs. For details of participating clubs see Calendar on the West District website. The top half of the field (rounded up) qualify for the Semi-Final which is on Tuesday 21 February 2017, 7.00pm at the Buchanan Club. Players who have failed to qualify in a club heat are entitled to try again and enter any other club heat(s) which are still to be held. Players who have already gained qualification should, however, not play in other heats even if only to make up numbers.
The West District entry fee is £3.00 per player. All results and entry fees should be sent to the District Secretary, cheques payable to “West District SBU”. Please also forward to the District Secretary (by email) the event file for your heat (.dat file in ScoreBridge) - this will greatly help us with processing results for master pointing.
National Pairs: All qualifying heats must be arranged through the West District. For details of District heats see Calendar on the West District website. The top half of the field (rounded up) qualify for the District Final which is on Tuesday 24 January 2017, 7.00pm at the Buchanan Club. Players who have failed to qualify in a club heat MUST NOT play in any other club heat(s) still to be held. Players who have already gained qualification should also not play in other heats even if only to make up numbers. There are no national Semi-Finals, and qualification from the District Final will be directly to the national Final.
The SBU entry fee is £3.00 per player. All results and entry fees should be sent to the District Secretary, cheques payable to “Scottish Bridge Union”. Please also forward to the District Secretary (by email) the event file for your heat (.dat file in ScoreBridge) - this will greatly help us with processing results for master pointing.
