Pairs prize draw winners

The winners were selected at random from all heat winners. The selection was made at the 2016 AGM.

The pair which achieved the best score within their club in any event, when scored nationally, were entered in to the draw. This therefore included the heat winners of all EBU organised events – i.e. the EBED Spring & Autumn Simultaneous Pairs, the British Simultaneous Pairs Events, the Bridge England Simultaneous Pairs, and the Club Stratified Simultaneous Pairs.
