The IBU Interprovincial Tournament takes place on the weekend of 16th - 17th November 2024 at the Cavan Crystal Hotel; a detailed competition schedule can be found by clicking on the banner above or the side menu.
The competitions start on Saturday 16th at 1.00pm, and we would ask all players to be in place and ready to play at that time. There will be two sessions on Saturday and one on Sunday, which should conclude around 2:30pm, after which there will be a short prize-giving. All 12 members of the winning province’s team in each event receive winners’ medals rather than prize money.
Team members that have not played in this event before should be aware of the format. There are three separate competitions: Open, Regional/Area Master and Intermediate. Within each competition, each of a province’s three teams plays nine matches, playing once against the three teams from the three other provinces – as can be seen on the schedule. Each match is scored in the normal way (IMPs converted to Victory Points) and added to the province’s total. The winning province is the one that accumulates most victory points across all three teams; individual team scores are not relevant to the result.
Match fees should by now have been paid directly by each province to IBU; captains are asked to ensure this has happened before the competition.
If you have any queries please contact Harold Curran, Joint Honorary Secretary of IBU, at haroldcurran501@gmail.com; you will also find Harold playing on the Ulster Open team at the event.
