In addition to Green Point awards for ranking and rounds drawn or won, there will be cash prizes for the top two or 3 pairs, dependent on the size of the entry field.
The cost of entry will be £40.00 per pair and both players must be members of the EBU. Pairs wishing to enter should do so using the form below.
