Bryce Watson Team Trophy - Thursday 22 October 2026
This is a handicap event, formed by handicapped pairs evening out everyone's chance of winning the trophy. As this event is for teams of 4 there will not be an option for a half table, so we will take entries in the order that they are received, and if there is a half table, unfortunately the last entered pair will not be able to play.
Please enter as a pair, rather than as a team. The format is that Andy will handicap each pair and then form teams so that all teams theoretically have the same chance of winning. But we know that the game of bridge doesn't always go that way! We will send out the team information prior to the event.
Please enter by Thursday 15th, if you would like to play, by email to Andy: andypryor2@btinternet.com or sign up on the form which is attached to the club notice board at a club night.
If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to ask. If you would like to enter, but don't have a partner for the 22nd, please let us know and we will try to partner you up.
