The National Schools Championships is a half-day teams events for school-age bridge players held at Loughborough Grammar School (LE11 2DU) each spring.
The event starts with a Swiss teams event where each team plays a few boards against each of about four other teams. In each round teams are assigned to play opponents with approximately the same score.
After the tea break, the top single-school teams play off for the Schools Cup (a single-school team trophy) and the others play for the Harry Scully Trophy.
There is also an event aimed at the less experienced players who will play fewer boards at a rather slower pace and may also receive some coaching.
Further details about the National Schools Championship are here on the EBU website.
