Formalities for Western League matches

Matches will be played as teams of four, in two stanzas. At half-time, teams will change their opponents. Where Counties agree to play a teams of eight match, the match will be played as two separately scored teams of four. The overall result will be calculated by adding the imps result from both matches and converting to VPs. No kibitzers are allowed during the match. Undos are only allowed during the bidding. As with EBU events generally on Realbridge, there will be no screens and as in face-to-face, you alert partners' bids. Please aim to be seated at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start so that the director can check everyone is seated correctly. Results will be uploaded to county websites. At the end of the season, final league results will be uploaded to the EBU and all masterpoints awarded at this point.
