The National Pairs Championship starts with a qualifying round, organised locally, with many heats. It is an enjoyable event, enabling players to participate in a local heat, with the opportunity to qualify for the Regional and ultimately the National Finals.

Clubs intending to run heats are requested to contact Michael at the EBU (click to email) as soon as possible with the details so that we can add you to the list of participating clubs.

Players need not be EBU members in order to play in the club qualifying stage, but must become members in order to proceed to the Regional Finals or beyond.
