A very brief introduction (from EBU)
You can find your NGS on myEBU where your results are found. If you need help to locate this then please ask Jane Holdrick or Sue Wright who will be happy to assist you
The NGS provides a fair and trustworthy measure of an individual’s current performance when playing duplicate bridge, which is easy to understand and reflects changes (both up and down) in an individual’s current standard of play. The NGS indicates an individual’s current playing ability based on the last 80 or so playing sessions at whatever level they play.
The NGS is complementary to the Master Point Scheme, whose existing arrangement is unaltered. The two schemes are independent.
NGS Grades
The NGS calculates a current grade and a grade band for each EBU member, which is updated whenever new results for that player are received.
The value of your current grade is the scheme’s estimate of the percentage score that you would achieve on average if partnering another player with the same current grade at Match Pointed Pairs in a field of nationally average strength.
EBU grades have been divided into 13 playing card bands, ranging from ‘Ace’ at the top to ‘Two’ at the beginners’ end. Each band covers a 2% range of grade values,with ‘Eight’ having a range of 49‐51%.
Further information is available on the EBU website. A full listing of NGS for England and individual counties can be accessed on the EBU website/NGS.
