Welcome to Derbyshire Contract Bridge Association
Handicapped swiss teams 14th and 28th Aug at Spondon 7pm

This is based on our summer swiss, but each match is handicapped based on a teams average NGS rank, the handicap is based on that used in our Vic Morris event and converted for 8 board matches and imp scoring. Our plan is to balance the teams by a handicap adjustment such that the team that performs better than their ranking will do well. Any queries please contact Jim Parker 07980716894.  New teams are welcome, if your NGS is hidden or you are not a DCBA member please be aware of your current NGS rank to assist the event organisers.

In round 1 the handicap propelled 3rd placed team 1 into 1st place beating 9th placed team 7 who finished 2nd 1vp behind after applying handicap 

Remember you don't need to play in both events so everyone is welcome to join us in round 2.
