The new season of the Teams of 4 league starts in September 2025 and team captains should sign up now via the entry form below. We intend to have two divisions again this year, one for players who enjoy competitive team games, the other for more social players who want to play friendly teams’ bridge. The proposed format has been modified from that described in the August Bulletin in response to comments from members. Dependent on entry numbers, Division 1 will have seven teams and all teams will play each other once, while Division 2 teams also play about once a month. Each match will comprise 24 boards and be played on RealBridge at a time/date agreed between captains, though the league management system will suggest a schedule. The league will start on 4 September 2025 and is to be completed by 26 February 2026.

In effect, League Division 1 constitutes a round robin for the competition to determine the Bedfordshire champion team. On completion of the league, a knockout phase will take place. This will comprise a quarter-final (QF), semi-final (SF) and final. The winner of Division 1 will get a bye into the SF. The other leading teams will compete against each other in the QF, with matchups determined by random draw. The competition is to be completed by mid-April 2026.

All matches will attract master points but results will not count towards NGS.

Full details of the rules will be published once the composition of both divisions is known.

Entries close on 30 August 2025.
