Burton-Pryor Cup

 

Burton-Pryor Cup

Donated by Steve Burton and Karen & Malcolm Pryor, who were the first winners.

Awarded to the winners of the knock-out teams competition, introduced in January 2007.

The format of the competition was changed in 2022 to reduce the number of rounds

 

Teams must be made up of Farnborough Bridge Club members.

There is a qualifying round on a Wednesday in April, to reduce the number of teams to 4. The format of this round is Multiple Teams. If there is a tie for the last qualifying place then this is split using the following methods (and in this order should there continue to be a tie): Net IMPs in boards played between the tied teams; most 'wins' in head to head matches over the whole evening; Captains draw from a pack of cards - Aces are high and suits rank in order of spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. The highest ranking card wins.

Teams may use a maximum of one member substitute in the qualifying round where a final team member is away for the qualifier.

The final will be played in the following month, on a Wednesday in May.

Matches of 24 boards must be played at the club on the appointed night.
