Staffs & Shrops Contract Bridge Association

Midlands No Fear 9-High* Swiss PAIRS
at 2 p.m. on RealBridge (not BBO)

Saturday, 25th March 2023

Only members of S&SCBA are eligible to represent the County

~ free entry for our county members ~

The game is hosted on RealBridge so that you get to see and talk to your partner and the opposition – it is as close to face-to-face as we can get. Inter-County bridge events have always been for the most experienced players, but this event, run by the Midlands Counties, is to widen the opportunities to players of all standards to represent Staffs & Shrops. If you haven’t played on RealBridge yet, you can log on to RealBridge and play some practice games.

*All events will be for NGS grade 9 or below. A player with one point higher can play with a player with 1 or more points lower. To find out if you are eligible, go to https://www.ebu.co.uk/ngs/STA.

Please persuade your partner to play with you in this Pairs event. The County with the highest THREE pairs will be declared the winner: so we need a good turn-out for the competition. 

Around 25 boards will be played, starting at 2 p.m., and S&SCBA offers free entry for its members to this event.

Email your entry (names and EBU numbers) to Paul Cutler on paulcutlersscba@yahoo.co.uk. His telephone number is 07939 977499. Entries need to be with Paul by Monday 20th March.

Paul will advise you of the link to play, but it will also be posted on the Midland County Congress website on the day of the event. Go to https://www.bridgewebs.com/midlandcc/ and click on NO FEAR Swiss events. Click on Results to see how you fared.

 

An innovation for this event is that Ben Norton, one of our best young internationals, will deliver a commentary on some of the hands, and be available after the event on Zoom to answer questions – we believe this will represent an excellent investment of 30-45 minutes of your time to learn from an expert! Links to the Zoom meeting will be given to players during the event.
