These are our annual competitions and the rules that govern them.
Competitions are aligned to the the Club year (October to September). These general principles apply except where noted:
Replaces the Bamberger Teams of Four Competition held annually in July.
Previously awarded to the winners of a Swiss Teams Event held on a club evening in November each year. Trophy repurposed in October 2023.
Handicaps are based on the average actual percentage scores for the previous 12 months taken away from 50.00.
Examples: For a member with a 12-month average of 52.51% the handicap would be -2.51 and for an average of 46.25% the handicap would be +3.75.
Handicaps are recalculated and updated by the Bridgewebs program on the 18th of each month.
For members who have not played at least 5 times in the previous 12 months and for visitors their handicap will be -5.00.
For a pair, their handicap is the average of the combined individual handicaps. The handicap score is the sum of the actual percentage score and the pair's handicap.
