Previous Winners

Picture: The Hubert Phillips Bowl.

This challenging and enjoyable event makes an ideal tournament for new players coming from the environs of rubber or chicago bridge to the game of duplicate, as well as an excellent event for all tournament players. Green Points are awarded for matches won in all rounds (see below for awards)

Matches are played on the full pivot principle such that one plays one-third of the match with each of one’s team mates as a partner. Teams must include at least one man and one woman, and all membersplaying in a match must play in partnership with all three other membersof the team. At no time may an all-male or all-female team be playing.

Scoring is by aggregate with honours counting (see below). At no time may an all male or all female team be playing. Seeding has been introduced, so that every team entering is guaranteed at least one match before meeting a seed.

Matches are of 30 boards up to and including the quarter-final, except that 24- or 27-board matches may be played in Rounds 1–3 by mutual agreement.

What are honours?

It's easy to forget that with the prevalance of duplicate bridge nowadays, people don't actually know how honours work! Honours are bonus points for being dealt the best cards.
In no-trumps - all four aces in one hand is worth 150 points.
In a suit contract - four of the A, K, Q, J or 10 (the top five honours) in one hand are worth 100 points. All five are worth 150 points.

You claim the points at the end of the hand and this privilege is not limited to just the declaring side - although if you're in a slam missing 100 honours you have more important things to worry about!
