Ranked Masters Congress 3rd - 4th March 2012

Daventry Hotel

 

This is a group of pairs championships for which an appropriate EBU Master Point Rank is needed to enter. The appropriate rank must have been attained by virtue of points earned by 1st January prior to the event, and players who hold unregistered points at that date which would promote them to a higher rank may compete only at the higher rank. Players currently or previously based overseas for any substantial period of their bridge playing career should make special application
for a national rank to be afforded them solely for the purpose of participating in this particular tournament.

 

 

 

Programme

  
All events other than the Masters Pairs (event ‘G’) start at 2pm on Saturday and end between 3.30pm and 5.30pm on Sunday depending on numbers.

Masters Pairs: please note the new one-day format below.
