Manning Trophy Rules

Rules 2022-23 John Manning Cup

a) This competition is a teams event, played monthly usually on the last Thursday of the month.

b) The teams will be four nominated players all of whom must be members. Teams must be nominated by informing the director before play on the night - it need not be the first event.

c) A nominated player may not subsequently play for any other team in that year, unless the team for which he was nominated has officially withdrawn from the competition (see rule (j)).

d) Any number of substitutes may play for a nominated team. A substitute may play for different teams during the season. Playing as a substitute does not prevent someone becoming a nominated member of a new team. Substitutes must be members of the club. Non-members of the club will invalidate a team's score.

e) Individual events will be scored by total IMPS, converted to VP's on the standard scale if 6 teams or less are competing.

f) Final scores will be calculated as the lowest available sum of 5 positions from the 9 monthly heats.

g) The winners will be the team with the lowest such total.

h) A team must play in at least 5 heats to win the trophy.

i) If the number of events is reduced, the qualifying number is reduced by the same number and rules (f), (g) and (h) amended accordingly.

j) Disbanded teams – nominated players may substitute for other teams once written notice withdrawing the team from the competition has been given to a committee member, provided that the team disbanding has played no more than three events. Members of a withdrawn team may not subsequently register as nominated players in a new team.

k) This competition does not stop other teams and players from playing in individual events: they are welcome to do so but cannot count a score for the competition by entering it retrospectively.
) EBU Partnership Understanding - Level Four.

John Manning Plate.

a) This competition is run in conjunction with the John Manning Cup event described above, and all those terms of reference apply equally to the Plate competition

b) Once the result of the monthly Cup competition is known, and the results communicated to the EBU for masterpoints and NGS processing, the event will be rescored, applying a handicap to each team based on its total NGS ranking on the night.

c) Each team will receive or give 0.15 imps per board, multiplied by the difference between the two team’s total NGS ranking.

d) If 7 or more teams are competing on the night, the total handicap of each team, plus or minus, will be applied as a one off figure for each team. If fewer than seven teams, (where IMPS are converted to Victory Points,) then each match will be individually adjusted.

e) The NGS rankings will be taken from the monthly list obtained from the EBU.

f) The handicap figures for each team, against each other team, will be prominently displayed during each evening, based on the NGS rankings of the players actually playing on the evening
