Children in Need Simultaneous Pairs

This is a Simultaneous Pairs charity event to raise money for BBC Children in Need. We are playing it on two separate days (with two different sets of boards so that you can play in both if you wish):

 

Wednesday 13th November at 7.15pm. This session will be played face-to-face (F2F) at the clubhouse. 

 

Friday 15th November at 10am. This is a hybrid session, with one section played F2F at the clubhouse, and the other online on RealBridge. 

 

A commentary on the hands written by an expert will be available online afterwards. Your results will be compared with those in all the other clubs in the country that are playing the same hands ‘simultaneously’. This means that you will have two scores, your local score for the event at OBC (normal masterpoints and NGS rules) and a national score. The results will appear on the ECatsBridge website. 

 

Andrew Robson is running a free to join, open to all, livestreamed analysis of the hands played in the Friday morning session on Saturday at 10AM https://robsonbridge.com/children-in-need 

 

The entry fee is £8.00 per player (£4.00 for concessions).  There will be a host so you can come along without a partner. 

Note that for security reasons we won't be able to post the Friday morning results on our website or on Pianola until after 10.00 in the evening. 

Please come along and support Children in Need whilst having an enjoyable session of Bridge.
