Spring Ladder 2019

Monday‑Thursday Ladder

Spring 2019 Ladder—from Monday 14 January through Thursday 18 April Inclusive

The new Spring ladder works in essentially the same way as the recent Autumn ladder. (Results from regular Friday evening duplicates still do not contribute to your ladder standing.)

Ladder ranking is by average of your six best scores on Monday and Thursday evening sessions over this 14‑week period. In addition, you need to play

  • on at least three Monday evenings,
  • on at least two Thursday evenings,
  • on at least one more Monday or Thursday evening,
  • and with at least three different partners.

Any duplicates scored by IMPs are converted to percentages for ladder purposes; the Cross‑IMPs page explains how.

The club is cutting its coat according to its cloth and providing a prize fund of about £1.00 per pair per Monday or Thursday duplicate.

Final ladder standing on 18 April.
