Club Winners Cup

2025 winners: Saroj & Alan Ellis (Royston BC)

This is a single-session pairs competition for the winners and runners-up (or the next in line down ) of the most recently preceding annual principal pairs competition run by clubs.

In the event that clubs have not been able to hold their principal pairs competition this season, clubs may nominate pairs for entry up to two pairs per club. Competitors must be registered members of the club, i.e. included in the list of members of the club which is registered with the EBU for purposes of the Universal Membership Scheme.  

When: 2:00pm on Sunday 8th November 2026
Where: RealBridge.   
Cost: FREE for all players whose primary county affiliation is to Hertfordshire, otherwise £4 per person.
Eligibility: The top two pairs from each club's championship remain entitled to represent the club. If one or both cannot play, substitutes may now come from any lower-placed pair, not just 3rd and 4th, provided that pair scored over 50% in your club championship. Substitutes should be offered places in finishing order, starting with the highest-placed eligible pair. For example, if the 1st placed pair can't attend and the 3rd and 4th placed pairs are also unavailable, the place could go to the 5th placed pair and so on, provided they scored over 50%. If they scored 50% or less, neither they nor any lower-placed pair would be eligible.
Format: Duplicate Pairs, 24 boards, with a 15 minute break after 12.
Entries:

Pre-entry by Clubs, no later than the preceding Friday please. No entries on the day.
