National Handicap Pairs Championship

Oxford Bridge Club is holding a heat of the National Handicap Pairs Championship on Sunday 8th September, at the clubhouse. This event is in aid of Cancer Research UK as part of the "Bridge - it's a big deal!" festival. 

Start time is 2pm. We will play 30 boards and expect to finish by about 6.30pm. There will be a short break at half-time for tea, coffee, and refreshments (cake and fruit).  

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. 

A commentary on the hands will be uploaded to our website after the end of play. 

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

This event is not hosted, but if you'd like to play, and don't have a partner, please email Liza, who will try to help. 

We will only run this event if we have at least 5 full tables booked by 2pm on Saturday 7th September, so if you'd like to play, please book your place in good time.  UPDATE: we now have enough bookings, so this event will definitely run!

Making your NGS visible

If you normally hide your NGS ranking, you must make it visible by Saturday 7th 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

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.
