Oxford Bridge Club is holding a heat of the National Handicap Pairs Championship on Sunday 6th September, at the clubhouse. 

Start time is 1.30pm. We will play approximately 30 boards and expect to finish by about 6.00pm. There will be a short break at half-time.  

Handicaps will be based on the average NGS of the two players in each pair, so all players will need to make sure that their NGS is visible [*see below for more information]. To do well you simply have to play better than expected based on your NGS - anyone can win this event just by having a sufficiently good day!

Blue masterpoints will be awarded to the top third of the field in the national results. 

Entry fee is £10 per player, to include refreshments.

This event is not hosted, so you will need to have a pre-arranged partner. .

This event will only go ahead if at least 5 full tables have booked by 1.30pm on Friday 4th September, so please book in good time if you plan to attend - note that we now have enough entries to guarantee that this event will go ahead. 

For further information please see this page on the EBU website.

Any queries, please email us via this link. 

If you normally hide your NGS ranking, you must make it visible by Saturday 5th September, and leave it visible until Tuesday. You can do this by logging into your MyEBU account, going to Account (at the top right), My Details, then under Account Settings, change NGS Preference to Public Grade and Partnerships. 

You can check that your NGS rank is visible by going to the EBU website, clicking on NGS (at the top right), and then putting your surname into the search box. If your name and NGS rank appears, then it's visible, if it doesn't, then it's not. Any problems please email Liza for help. 

Non-members are very welcome to play. If you haven't played at the club before please make yourself known to the director or scorer when you arrive.
