Really Easy Congress

Venue for 2022 

 

The standard

The Really Easy Congress is aimed at 'less experienced' players. There is no lower limit on ability, and all who have reached a level where they are playing unassisted in a club are welcome, though we anticipate that most players will be a seven or higher on the NGS. At the upper end of the spectrum, we would expect that the stronger players would still be 'inexperienced'. They must be no higher than a Jack on the NGS, and should ideally have little/no experience of green-point events, and are likely to be below the rank of Master. Those who are above these levels should instead consider playing in one of the main events in the Summer Meeting - the weekend Swiss competitions in London (full weekend or one-day options available), or the midweek competitions - or in other EBU congresses. All Really Easy Events ares restricted to level 2 conventions. If you regularly play any level 4 conventions you should play in the main congress events. Please note: We reserve the right to restrict entry to the Really Easy Congress to those we consider to be of the right playing level. Please do not think you are being modest by underestimating your ability - if you are too strong a player you may spoil the event for other participants.

Other competitions for less experienced players

Anyone who has enjoyed the Really Easy events in the past, or who is thinking of joining us this year, may be interested in our Really Easy Weekends - a full weekend of bridge, in great hotels and with a fun atmosphere, for 'experienced novices'. Jack High Swiss Pairs These are held at the Easter Festival, and Year End Congress, both in London. In order to qualify to play in this event, you must have an NGS of no higher than ‘Jack’ at the time of entering. We envisage that at the lower end, players will be ‘7’ or higher. The event will be stratified too so that there are extra Master Points and an extra prize available for pairs of players both ranked ‘9’ or lower. This competition is priced at a discounted rated to encourage new participants to congress bridge.
