We are running a Pro-Am pairs session at the club on the evening of Wednesday 18th June at 7.15pm. This replaces the usual Wednesday evening session. For those who are unfamiliar with this type of event, this is where we pair a stronger/more experienced player (a pro) with a weaker/less experienced player (an am). 

We will play 20 boards with a brief break at half time, so that there is extra time at the end of the session to discuss the hands (unless there is a half table, in which case we will play more boards, as pairs sitting out will have time to discuss the hands then).

The event will be classified as a mentored session, which means it will not count towards your NGS ranking, although Masterpoints will be awarded as usual. 

The results will be handicapped, based on NGS ranking, with a prize of two free games on Wednesday evenings for the top two pairs. Unhandicapped results will be uploaded to Pianola and the EBU.

Table money is £4 for pros and ams alike (£2 for concessions), payable by card when you arrive at the club.

We are currently in the process of recruiting pros for this event, and plan to open it to entries from ams nearer to the time, when we know how many places we can offer. 

We are providing basic standard system cards for ACOL and 5-card majors. The ams can choose which one they wish to play. Click here to view the system cards. You may make minor changes to your chosen card if you wish, by agreement with your partner, but we prefer that you make as few changes as possible to make discussion of the hands easier afterwards.
