| NATIONAL PAIRS HANDICAP |
 On Sunday 4 October at 2.00 pm we will be joining other clubs and playing the National Handicap Pairs. The Handicap Pairs is a relatively new event. It will be run similar to a Sim Pairs, but with handicaps. The entry fee is £7.00 each some of which will be remitted to the EBU.
The competition will be played as a single extended session, of 26-30 boards, scored by match-points at all participating virtual clubs all players will be handicapped by the average NGS of the two players in each pair. This means a pair irrespective of experience could win. Blue Points will be awarded to the top 1/3 of the overall field at National rate and prizes will be awarded based on the overall ranking list. Please note to play in this event your NGS grade must be visible. Please click here to book
