From April 2012 the EBU is taking the running of its Sim Pairs events in house. This has enabled a reduction in price.

We are pleased to say that from April 2012 the EBU will be charging its clubs for Sims as follows:­

Entry fee per player: £2.50 per person*­ this is for provision of electronic commentary booklets, travellers and hand records.

Paper versions of the above will be available via post at £8 per pack of 20, on request.

We will also be making the EBU Sims available on five days of the week in three sessions per day (but a player may play only once a day!), so all our clubs and their members can take advantage of this new service from the EBU. There will be a different set of hands on each day.

An online booking/registration facility for Sim Pairs will be made available for clubs through their member area on the EBU website in the New Year. Clubs will also be able to order the packs of travellers and commentary booklets using this facility. The following events can then be booked there. Clubs may wish to note these dates in their calendars:

*The Stratified EBU Sims entry fee of £2 will remain unchanged.

**Not all in the same week, so as to avoid a clash with the bank holiday Monday.

***Two days only.

 

In addition to the main Simultaneous Pairs, the EBU runs special national simultaneous pairs events for Bridge Students, for Schools, including a special Minibridge event, and for Universities - these are not Green Point events.

You can find a full calendar of National Simultaneous Pairs on the EBU calendar.

And finally, there are various Simultaneous Pairs licensed by the EBU. These may be National or Local ones - some large and some small, and you should email Dawn in the EBU Licensing department for details of these.

Do come and join us! Simultaneous Pairs are enormous fun and we think you would really enjoy it.
