Competition Conditions of Contest 

The Nancy Beament Trophy - Club Championship Pairs:

The winners of the Club Championship Pairs competition will be the pair with the highest average percentage score over the competition period. If there are fewer than 8 full tables at any session (Mitchell movement) or 5 full tables (Howell movement), the result for that session will not count. Should there be a tie; the winners who have the highest percentage score during the competition will become the Champions.

Each partnership pair must be full members of the Bourne Bridge Club, Farnham and must play together at least eight times on Thursday duplicate evenings to qualify.

The winning pair will be invited to represent the Bourne Bridge Club, Farnham in the Mary Edwards Cup which is the SCBA final for Club Pairs Championship winners. If the winning pair is not able to play on that day, the competition runners up will be invited to represent the club.

The Hutton Shield

The Hutton Shield is awarded to the pair which attains the highest percentage score on Thursday duplicate pairs’ evenings over the competition period. Both players must be full members of the Bourne Bridge Club, Farnham. In the event of a tie, the trophy will be shared by the winners for an equal period until next awarded.

Daphne Baker Trophy

The Daphne Baker trophy is awarded to the winners of our annual "pot luck" teams trophy event.

Winter League Teams Competition - The Sally Young Trophy

Purpose of the Event

The Winter League Teams event is intended as a friendly, sociable competition and provides an opportunity to get to know other club members as team mates rather than opponents! Originally played in people’s homes over a glass of wine, which is still an option, it is now played on Real Bridge. It should not be confused with the Championship Teams event which happens once per year.

With effect from September 2026 there will be no charge for playing these matches.

The rules for the competition can be found under the Winter League tab

Individual

This is not a club competition, but just a list of members who have played at least 16 times in BBCF duplicate sessions when partnering another club member over the course of the year, so that you can see how you are doing in the grand scheme of things.

Personal Analysis

This is not a club competition, but just for your own use, if you wish to use it.

Annual Prize Giving

Trophies and Prizes for all events will be presented at the Club AGM.
