John Armstrong green-pointed Swiss pairs |
Saturday 18 May 2024 with an 11.30 am start, finishing approximately 6.30 pm.
Venue: Deva Bridge Club, WI Hall, Village Road, Christleton, Chester CH3 7AS
Tournament Director: David Stevenson
7 matches of 7 boards with a short lunch break after round 3. Tea and coffee will be available all day but there will be no food on sale at the venue. You are welcome to bring your own food along to eat at the break. Green points to EBU scale.
John Armstrong was fine international player and a gentleman at the bridge table. He was based in Liverpool and highly regarded by all who had known him. He died suddenly and prematurely of a brain haemorrhage. Our annual Swiss Pairs competition is held in his
honour.
For those unfamiliar with the format, Swiss Pairs is a variant of duplicate that consists of a series of short matches. All pairs play the same boards at the same time. Results for each board are scored at the end of the match and, in the next round, pairs with similar scores
play each other. Do enter – it’s an opportunity to play pairs from around the county and further afield in a different format from a traditional club night.
Entry fee £15 per player. Please register on the form below and pay by bank transfer to:
- Merseyside and Cheshire Bridge Association
- Sort code: 09-01-50
- Account number: 05876354
- Please reference your payment: JA24surname
The closing date is Sunday 12 May. The entry is strictly limited to 20 tables to allow adequate spacing.
Please contact Stephen Downes (downes75@yahoo.com) with any queries/issues.
