2026 Spring Charity Bridge Festival 

Guidance Notes - Please consider these notes 'pending - for general advice' until the middle of May

Online Group Entry

If you have 'signed-up' to play as a group on 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

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.

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

Duplicate Pairs - Manual Scoring 

If you have 'signed-up' for this option, 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.

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 

The results for each day's play will be available after 22:00 hrs for further download from the ECatsBridge website
