First prize this year is an evening's bridge with me at the Russell Cup in Edinburgh or an evening at Berwick-upon-Tweed Bridge Club (second prize two evenings?) or two 12-board BBO tournaments. I will pay the table money but you have to make your own travel arrangements. I appreciate that prizes are reaching a nadir, but there is always the kudos of winning.
Each entry should specify the top 6 teams, in placing order, for each of the three competitions (Open, Women, Senior). You can only have a single entry, but you may change your selection at any time before the entry deadline.
Points will be awarded as follows:
Second place = 16 points
Third place = 8 points
Fourth place = 4 points
Fifth place = 2 points
Sixth place = 1 point
for a maximum of 189 points.
Revised scoring (7 June 2012)
First place = 10 points
Second place = 6 points
Third place = 4 points
Fourth place = 3 points
Fifth place = 2 points
Sixth place = 1 point
for a maximum of 78 points.
Entry Deadline: Monday 11 June, 2012
Each team will score the minimum of your placing for them and their final position, for example:
- if you place a team in fourth place but they win the event, then you get the points for fourth place
- if you pick a team as the winner but they finish second, then you get the points for the runner-up.
Information on the participating teams and the format of the competitions is available at http://eurobridge.or...Information.htm.
