Mixed Pairs & Flitch

Wednesday, 27th February 2019 @ 7.15pm

This is a club trophy and is therefore only open to club members, however, tis very easy to become a member of Thorpe Bay, just ask !

Now, for those of you who don't know how this works (I only just found out ) this is quite an interesting one because it's actually two competitions in one, a toofer, a BOGOFF, an Aldi as opposed to a Waitrose

So here's how it works......

You start of with your Mixed Pairs - which literally can be anybody as long as they are legally defined as the opposite sex (opposite to you obviously) and within those pairs there will be some married couples - the competition plays out in the usual manner and the winners of the Mixed Pairs is declared, however, the 'married' couple who are closest to the top of the board are then declared the winners of the Flitch !

Two for One

So, the interesting thing here is that the Flitch is literally wide open - so for all of you novice players - and there are lots of married couples playing in the supported groups right now, this is a great competition for you - give it a go - it'll be a fun way to get involved in a competition

Of course now would probably be the wrong time to have the discussion about inclusivity, discrimination and generally unjust and prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, but certainly something to think about !
