Saturday Sunday Teams
Saturday and Sunday Evening Teams

Saturday & Sunday evening Teams!

If you are interested in playing random teams matches on a Saturday and/or Sunday evening from about 7.30pm (14 boards), please email me each week (in preparation for the coming weekend) with both your and your partner's BBO names (and real names), along with the evening(s) you wish to play.  If you want to enter for all of them, just confirm.

I will then make up the matches, and provide instructions as to how to create the match (I cannot do this for you, someone has to do it for each match.  If you prefer to enter as a team (ie of two pairs), then one person please email me the details of the 4 players.

We will need an even number of teams, so entry will be on a first come first serve basis, ie if you are the last pair/team in, and I cannot make up to an even number of teams, then you will miss out, I'm afraid. 

Initially, this will be pretty low key with the matches playing different boards, etc.  However, if it proves to be popular, we will develop it further.

Remember, it is teams (IMP) scoring.  See here for an article on the difference between MPS (Match Points – usual pairs) scoring and IMPS (International Match Points) scoring: https://www.bridgewebs.com/wmbcircle/IMPs%20v%20MPs.pdf

But in brief:  Bid your games (doesn’t matter what in – ie the making one), and don’t go for 1100!
