| Suffolk Championship Pairs |
This year, Clare's qualifying heat of the Suffolk Championship Pairs will be held online on Monday 29th November, when Paddy is directing. This will be a regular online club evening, and entry for the Championship Pairs is optional - if you do not wish to attempt to qualify you can register and play as normal.
The rules for playing in the event are as follows:
- Any pair wishing to attempt to qualify during the evening, must tell the Director before the start of play. To facilitate this you can submit the form below before 29th November.
- Both members of the pair must have primary affiliation to Suffolk
- No player may attempt to qualify in more than one heat during the 2021-22 season, either with the same partner or with another partner.
- For those pairs who have indicated their intention to attempt to qualify, a 50% score or higher is required to qualify
For those who qualify, the Semi-Final will take place on Sunday 6 February 2022 and the Final will take place on Sunday 10 April 2022. Face to face vernues have been booked for the Semi-final and Final, and a decision will be made nearer the time as to whether these events will take place face-to-face, online, or a hybrid of the two.
