National Handicap Pairs Championship, Sunday 7 September, 11am on BBO |
National Handicap Pairs Championship
Sunday 7 September 11 a.m. BBO. Results are based on scores handicapped by NGS grade
Tyler Hill Bridge Club are hosting a heat of the National Handicap Pairs Championship on BBO on Sunday 7 September at 11 a.m. It will be played as a single extended session, about 30 boards across all participating venues in the country. This event will be open to all of our club members and EBU members who do not have access to a nearby online session .Handicaps will be based on the average NGS of the two players in each pair, so all players will need to have their NGS visible. To do well you simply have to play better than expected based on your NGS - anyone can win this event just by having a sufficiently good day!
The charge will be $8 to cover the costs of the EBU and our director
The results from the heats are combined and matchpointed across-the-field, as if it were a Simultaneous Pairs event – and the combined scores appear on the EBU Sims webpage. The handicap for each pair is their average of the two players’ NGS grades. The NGS grades are the grades before the event. The handicap is relative to 50%, so can be positive or negative. The handicapped score is calculated by subtracting the handicap from the score from the combined results.
Handicapped-Score = Score – ((NGS_1 + NGS_2)/2 – 50)
Master Points
Blue Points will be awarded to the top 1/3 of the overall field at National rate and prizes will be awarded based on the overall handicapped ranking list. NGS grading for this event will be based on the underlying local results.

KBC/KCC Parking |
The Cricket Club owns the property and we lease our part of the building and share the use of the car park. Now sessions are becoming busier, we do need to remember the parking rules and ensure that we park with due consideration for other users. Usually the parking arrangements for KBC members should be as follows
- First arrivals to park up to the fence line adjacent to the new housing
- The next row (and subsequent rows) must be parked hard up to the first row. Do not leave space for vehicle movements. It is not necessary as we all leave at the same time .
- Emergency vehicle access to our front door should be maintained at all times. Do not park in such a way as to obstruct this.
- Leave access clear to the parking spaces for those with disabilities.
Finally and importantly
- Please do not park on the grass
- Please do not park against the walls of the Cricket club
Occasionally there may be a need for a different parking arrangement and if that is the case someone will be there to direct you.
Thank you for your compliance.
