Teams Event 26 Jan 2023

Thanks to all members who are supporting the monthly Teams Event. We have had two successful sessions, the latest being on Thursday 26th January with an interesting format that few of us have played before.

This week we had six teams and played two 3-team groups. Congratulations to Sharman, Jay, Heather and Duncan for winning their group with +27 VPs from their two matches, followed by Ronnie, Wendy, Doreen and Brendon with +24 VPs with Barbara, Rita, John and Dave in third place.

In the other group,  Ken Rigg, Bob, Andrew and Kevan were successful with 31 VPs followed by Brian, Rona, John and Sandra with 21 VPs with Ailsa, Joyce, Greg and Nuala in third place.

The next Teams Event will be held on Thursday 23rd February starting, if possible, at 7.00p.m.

More teams, partnerships and individual members are welcome to join in, simply add you details to the appropriate list on the notice board.

Thank you all once again for supporting Bolton Bridge Club.

Teams Event 24 Feb 2023

This week saw another successful Teams Event with 5 teams enjoying yet another variation on Team Play, the “American Whist down” movement, which proved very successful.

My thanks go to Brian whose expertise was greatly appreciated and allowed the calculation of V.P’s (Victory Points) to give a more balanced result. We have also discovered the bridge pads are able to be used in several team play movements. Further research is required but I am confident that this will be successful.

To encourage participation in Team Events, efforts are always made to enable as far as possible, a level playing field so players play against teams at a similar level. This is straightforward when we have two groups of teams. However, with 5 teams or less, we have a single competition where all teams play each other.

I am pleased to inform you that members of the strongest team in the competition have approached me and suggested that to level things up and give all participants a chance of winning, they would split their team up and play with the lower handicap players.

I think this is an excellent idea and hopefully will encourage others to enter.

There seems to be a demand to extend this event into the Spring/Summer. I will take soundings at the March event and hopefully we can plan future dates.

The next event is on Thursday 23rd March.

Thank you for supporting Bolton Bridge Club
