This year the Russell Mather Trophy Charity event will be a Swiss Pairs event at Maydene on Wednesday 15th October. The charity is St Michael’s Hospice  

Swiss Pairs is suitable for all standards of player and is played as 6 rounds of 6 boards with a break for lunch. The first match is scored as match pointed pairs over the whole room. Then you are allocated your next opponents according to your first round score: i.e. the top scoring pairs play each other and the bottom scoring pairs play each other. So you should play another pair who had a similar score to you in the first round. After every match you are allocated opponents whose total score is as near to yours as possible.

The event will start at 10am and finish at approximately 4pm.  We are asking participants to bring along a plate of something to share for lunch.

The cost of the event is £5.50 pp (including £3 for charity).
