📃 Rules
🛂 Competition Controller - Richard Rees

This is like a teams competition, but your team mates will change on each round. Typically you will play 3 x 8-board rounds each evening. Over the course of the competition you will team up and play against each of the other pairs in your division.

Due to restictions on movements available, there is a limit on the number of entries we can accept. Priority will be given on a first-come first-served basis.

Returning pairs will be placed into divisions based on their performance in the previous season. Where possible returning players will retain their division if they substitute their partner, or if the partnership splits and becomes two entries. New pairs will be placed in the bottom division by default, but the TSC have the right to fast track them to a higher division, subject to a space being available, in order to prevent the bottom division being dominated by a strong pair.

If you can't play in a round, then you are required to find a substitute. The substitute players play for free (because you've paid the table money in advance!)

To enter, please complete the Entry Form.

Our new Chair - John Dignan

John Dignan is the new Chair of Bradgate Bridge Club.

You never know what other surprises are around the corner. Anne Morris had "Bradgate on Tour", and Ray Newman before her had the Covid Lockdown to deal with.

John is hoping that the only big thing he has to deal with is presiding over our 60th Anniversary in 2028.

He is married to Pauline and they have 4 children and 11 grandchildren. He is captain of the Bradgate Blue Team in the 2026-27 Winter Teams Division 3, and interestingly, competes with Pauline who is captain of the Bradgate Scarlet Team, also in Division 3.
