2025 Spring Charity Bridge Festival
Guidance Notes - Please consider these notes 'pending - for general advice' until the middle of March
Online Group Entry
If you have 'signed-up' to play as a group on BBO, BCL or RealBridge then you will be sent the deal files and 'read me' files in advance of your selected playing date.
After the event you will need to send the results xml file directly to ECatsBridge as soon as possible.
It is highly recommended that you test this procedure beforehand (with a 'dummy' set of results).
Full details on the above are available here.
The results for each day's play will be available after 22:00 hrs for further download and the ongoing daily results accessible from the ECatsBridge website
Online Single Entry
If you have 'signed-up' with your partner to play online, you will receive an email advising you how to join the Festival about 7 days before the event.
The results of your game will be automatically uploaded for you by your host platform.
These are the preliminary guidance notes for BBO players
The results for each day's play will be available after 22:00 hrs for further download and the ongoing daily results accessible from the ECatsBridge website
Face-to-face Duplicate Pairs (BridgeWebs)
If you have 'signed-up' to play as a Face-to-face group then the deal files and 'read me' files will be sent to your "non-playing" member such that the hands can be made up well in advance of the game.
After the event you will need to send the results xml file directly to ECatsBridge as soon as possible.
If you are using ScoreBridge, EBUScore, PairsScorer or DuplicateScorer then click here for further information as to how to extract the results file.

Duplicate Pairs - Manual Scoring

We are unable to include your results in the ECatsBridge National Results that are available a couple of days after the event. However, we are hopeful of combining your group's results in the "post-event" results analysis. Full details here

Donations
As well as having fun playing Bridge, we’d like to raise money for our chosen charity - MacMillan Cancer Support..
The recommended charity donation is £3 per person, per session, payable after the event, but contributions over and above this would be greatly appreciated.
We ask that you pay after the event. For group entries we would request that the group leader collects the "table money" on behalf of the group.
Payments details are here
