🏆2025 Annual Teams Championship – Monday Bridge Club, Battersea

📅 Monday 24 November 2025

🕢 Arrive by 7.20 pm for a 7.30 pm start

Our much-anticipated Annual Teams Championship returns! So far, eight teams are entered — but it’s not too late to join. ..........

At the Monday Bridge Club, we like to combine friendly rivalry with genuine camaraderie. Our members enjoy a year packed with well-run competitions that recognise skill, consistency, and enthusiasm for the game. From pairs events and individual challenges to prizes for the most improved players, each competition offers a chance to shine — and to share in the spirit that makes our club so special. All results contribute towards our End-of-Year Prize Awards, when we celebrate the winners and reflect on another enjoyable season of Bridge in Battersea.

🎖️ The Salver - Our flagship pairs competition, held across the year — usually on the first Monday of each month. Pairs finishing above halfway earn points based on their position, with each pair’s best six scores counting toward the final total.

🏅 Prizes awarded to the top six pairs.

💎 The Goblet - An individual competition running from January to mid-December. Every match-pointed pairs event (except first Mondays and the Club Championships) contributes to your standing.

Designed to encourage members to mix and play with different partners, only two results per partner count toward your best ten scores.

🏅 Prizes for the top six members.

🌱 Improver’s Prize - A year-round event (February–December) recognising the most improved player based on the highest percentage increase in NGS rating over at least 15 sessions.

🏅 Prizes for the top six improvers.

✨ In short: Whether you’re aiming for a trophy 🏆, improving your skills 🌱, or just enjoying friendly rivalry 🤝, our competitions add extra sparkle to the Monday Club year!
