EBU Junior squad simultaneous pairs February 2023.
We shall once again be running this event. Funds raised go directly into the junior squad budgets. This year three junior teams will represent England at the World Youth Bridge Championships in the Netherlands this August. The teams have not yet been selected, but several CBC juniors have played in the past. Claire Robinson is the non-playing captain of the Under 26 Women. The events will be held face-to-face on Monday morning on the 6th February and on RealBridge on Wednesday evening on the 8th, with different hands for each. Entry £5 (to include the £2 table money). This year these Sims Pairs games will also count as qualifiers for the National Pairs Regional Finals. Any players who achieve a score of over 55% in any club games between 5th and 18th February, will be invited to play in the National Pairs Regional Finals taking place online on 26th March. |
