Entries are now open for the following events via the CBAI’s online entry system:
- Jackson Cup (Women’s National Pairs) – online on BBO on Saturday 15 January, starting at 11:00
- Revington Trophy (Men’s National Pairs) – online on BBO Saturday 15 January, starting at 11:00
- McMenamin Bowl (Women’s National Teams) – online on RealBridge Sunday 16 January, starting at 11:00
- Geraldine Trophy (Men’s National Teams) – online on RealBridge Sunday 16 January, starting at 11:00
- Holmes Wilson Cup (National Teams) – online on RealBridge, Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 February (3 sessions), starting at 11:00 on both days
As with previous virtual competitions, these are being held essentially for recreation, and, while Masterpoints will be awarded as per the standard scheme, monetary prizes and national championship titles will not.
The fee for the events on BBO will be BB$15 per person per event, and will be payable in the usual fashion via BBO. The fee for the RealBridge events will be €12.50 per person for the McMenamin and Geraldine, and €20 per person for the Holmes Wilson, and will need to be paid in advance; we will advise a mechanism for making the payment shortly. Pre-entry is required for all these events, and entries for the RealBridge events will close earlier than normal to allow for subsequent circulation of the playing link to participants (so at lunchtime on Friday January 14 for the McMenamin and Geraldine, and close of business Thursday 10 February for the Holmes Wilson).
Finally, please note that ALL these events start at 11:00 a.m. – the feedback from the participants in the recent Master Pairs was that this was the preferred time for the vast majority.
