Welcome to the information page about the BGB Simultaneous Pairs.
All the BGB Simultaneous Pairs are now Green Pointed. Details of the awards can be found here
The funds raised are used to support
the National Teams as they go to represent their country in World and
European events.
Running a BGB Simultaneous Pairs is very simple - and we like to think
that it is fun ! If you haven't done one before, do contact Anna Gudge,
either by email
or by telephone on 01787 881920. We can usually arrange
to send you a sample pack so that you can see for yourself what is involved.
When you enter one of the events, tell us approximately how many tables
you think you will have, so that we can send you a booklet for each participant,
then you will receive a pack about 2 weeks beforehand, containing everything
you need to run a heat ... the simple instructions, the travellers with
the hands printed on and as many booklets as you have requested. The travellers
are in a sealed envelope, as are the booklets, contained within the "outer"
envelope, so you can't get at the bits you mustn't see!
You can, if you wish arrange to have the boards made up in advance by
someone completely unconnected with the event, or your players can make
them up on the night - yes, I know that sounds illogical, but they don't
play the boards they make up!
Then you all enjoy the evening's bridge (we hope!) scoring as normal,
and at the end use one of the programs that are compatible with the ECats
Scoring system to send in the results for overall scoring across the field.
A cheque into the post to cover the entry fees, and now all you need to
do is to keep an eye on the website to watch all the results coming in,
and an eye on your email in case we have any queries about the scores
when we check the frequencies. The rest is up to us! When all the scores
are in, and the checks completed, we post you the heat winner prizes -
really nice Parker pens for the winning pair at your club - money prizes
(yes, real cheques!) to the top 20 pairs overall, the precious Master
Points for the pairs in the top third of the field, and your local result
showing the position of each pair in the overall ranking.
