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.
