LOP Championship Pairs Competitions

The LOP Championship Pairs competitions will be held on the first and third Mondays of January, February and March 2022 during the regular Monday evening 7pm sessions.

There are two competitions running concurrently: the Open competition, and the Restricted competition for any player with an NGS ranking of 10 or under. Any player registered for LOP can enter. A partnership's best four scores will count towards the final result in each competition with prizes awarded for first and second place. Please note that to qualify for the restricted competition, both players of the partnership should have an NGS ranking of 10 or below on the first Monday of September.

Please note that you can still play in the Monday evening sessions even if you play with different partners on different Mondays. Only your best four results with the same partner will count towards the final result.
