NCBA County Events Sub Committee meeting minutes – Saturday 16th May 2020

Held via Zoom platform

Present:  Pravin Tailor, Mark Goddard, Keith Spencer, Toni Smith, Sue McIntosh, Sue Wright

Pravin opened the meeting by outlining the objective which were to review the survey results, discuss the process for playing NCBA  events online and select a team for the Intercounty Event on the 23rd May

Actions from 2nd May

Toni to include a survey in the NCBA newletter - Completed

The response to the survey was disappointing with only 8 replies.   All county captains followed the survey up by contacting their respective team players which elicited some further interest.  It was decided not to conduct a further survey and to proceed on the basis that the NCBA would run county events online

No further actions

Keith to investigate the cost and logistics of running online bridge - completed

Keith contacted the EBU and reported back as follows:-

It is no longer possible to buy or get a TD licence direct from BBO.  All licences now have to be obtained via the EBU in the form of setting up a virtual club.  The cost of the licence if you wish to TD your own events is £100, alternatively you can ask the EBU to run drives for you and the cost is £20 - £45 per session depending on the number of tables.  The only club in Nottinghamshire to have a full BBO licence is Nottingham Bridge Club.  NCBA could run TO4 events for free but if they charged for the event the must pay the EBU PTP fee in the normal way.  A drive run through the EBU virtual club system has a minimum fee of 3 BBO$ but it is up to the NCBA how much they charge.  Of any fee charged 30% goes to BBO, PTP is due to the EBU and the rest is retained by the organiser (unless the EBU run the drive in which case they will charge the fee mentioned above)

Further Action point

Keith to find out how long it takes to set up a virtual club and get registered via the EBU as a director

 

Intercounty Event 23rd May

This event is now a TO4 event with one team from each county -  the eligibility criteria being players of Q / J standard

The following team were selected for Nottinghamshire based on the respondents to the survey who expressed an interest in playing 

Captain   Keith Spencer / Jane Hall

  Shirley Ashtari / Dick Milne

Reserve pair   Graham Brindley / Clare Batten

 

NCBA Online Drive 2nd June

It was agreed than the first NCBA online drive would be held on the 2nd June – Keith Spencer will be the TD and organiser

The minimum fee of $3 will be charged and it will run over 18 boards

Further Action Points – Keith to find out what happens if a player drops out mid tournament

AOB

Mark has identified that he can monitor all hands and matches on BBO by player / tournament etc and he will be using this as an informative tool to improve match debriefs and training
