Calendar of Events
Click on any entry to expand it and see details of venue, timings, organisers, etc. Please note that by choosing to play in any of these events, you are consenting to your name appearing in the results published on this website.
Given the current public health restrictions, it is hard to be definitive in planning the calendar for season 2021/22. Our intention is to hold our events in-person as soon as it is permitted, and safe, to do so. Initially, this may involve multi-venue events, to control numbers in any single space, and to minimise travel. We will update the calendar regularly as the position becomes clearer, so please check periodically. The list below includes the events the CBAI is planning and those others (congresses etc) of which we have been notified. If you are planning to hold a congress or similar open competition in 2021/22 and it is not listed, please let us know and we will add it to the calendar.
If it transpires that an event ends up being held virtually, then, unless otherwise notified, it will be run on the same basis as last season – essentially for entertainment purposes, with Masterpoints being awarded, but with no national titles (where relevant) or monetary prizes.

Event Details
Qualifiers for the national pairs finals to be held in March 2022. Each region will run its own competition, so there will be different days, times, and venues – please consult your regional Secretary or website for the arrangements for your region.
Entries via your regional Secretary, or for Dublin South, Eastern, and mid-Leinster Regions, online via http://competitions.cbai.ie/
Note that if you are a member of two different regions, and the timings allow it, you may play in two different regional pairs competitions, but you may only attempt to qualify from one. In the absence of specific advice to the contrary, you will be deemed to have attempted to qualify from the FIRST event you play in; so if that is not your intention, you need to advise the relevant regional Secretary of that fact BEFORE the beginning of the first event you play in.
