English Bridge Union
Thank you to all the clubs which have already entered to take part in the Autumn EBED Simultaneous Pairs. We hope more of you will be playing as all profits go to English Bridge Education & Development, and help to support the charity’s work.
Your participation, and contribution towards ensuring bridge has a bright future, is greatly appreciated.
We hope that your cub will host a heat, and support its efforts, and that you will encourage your members to take part – if not at a heat at your club, then at one in your local area.
In addition, your club, and the heat winner at your club, can win up to £1000 (see below).
These represent the last chance for your club, and two of your members, to enter the prize draw to win £1000, or other cash prizes.
To be in with a chance of winning, all your club needs to do is hold a heat of one of these events. You will be entered in the draw every time you hold a heat, and if the heat is well attended you will receive additional entries.
The pair at the club who achieve the highest national score will go in to an additional prize draw. The first prize in each draw is £1000. You can read more about the prizes here. We hope this is a big incentive for you to take part. There are also other benefits to participation in our Sim Pairs, and you can read more about those, and get information on entering, in this document.
It can be run by any teacher, or by any club, whether or not it is affiliated. Electronic or manual scoring can be used. The event will consist of 12 hands (it's not essential to play all 12), with a commentary booklet to be provided. Results will be consolidated via the usual the simultaneous pairs software, so in the first place clubs should register via the “Sims” menu on the EBU website. If you do not have a suitable club number to use, please contact Richard - richard@ebedcio.org.uk. Booklets, hand records, duplimate files and all the necessary guidance will be sent out to those registering.
