Midlands No Fear 6-High Swiss Teams Saturday, 19th June 2021, at 2 p.m. On RealBridge (not BBO) - free entry

Following two earlier 9-High and 8-High Inter-County Swiss Teams, Midlands Counties have decided to hold another – this time 6-High eligibility. It will again be held on RealBridge, the closest to face-to-face available at the moment. If you haven’t used RealBridge before you will obviously need to practice on it!

* We have restricted the eligibility for this June event to partnerships with an NGS of 6 or below (so a 5 and a 7 is fine) to encourage slightly less experienced players to enter. However, to check your eligibility, please look up your and your partner’s percentage grades, add them together and make sure they don’t come to more than 94. This restriction will again ensure that everyone has a comfortable game. To find out if you are eligible, please go to https://www.ebu.co.uk/ngs/STA.

Please consider making up a foursome and coming along, and if you need help with team-mates or if Swiss Teams is new to you, please contact Paul (see below).

The competition will consist of around 25 boards, starting at 2 p.m. on Saturday 19th June 2021. Paul will advise you of the link to play, but it will also be posted on the Midlands County Congress website on the day of the event (https://www.bridgewebs.com/midlandcc/ ). S&SCBA offers free entry to this event. Email your entry (names and EBU numbers) to Paul Cutler on paulcutlersscba@yahoo.co.uk as soon as possible. His telephone number is 07939 977499.
