Release 2.19r
Welcome to Nottinghamshire Contract Bridge Association

The Association was founded in 1937 and aims to promote and further bridge in Nottinghamshire; to organise competitions in the County and to participate in matches with other counties.

NCBA Teams of 4 (Pachabo qualifier)
2nd February 2025 on Realbridge.
Start time 2pm 
 
Directors are Mark Goddard and Clare Batten
 
This is an "all play all" event and there will be between 18-33 boards depending on the number of teams entering.
In line  with all our county run events this is free to all who are affiliated to Nottinghamshire as their primary county of allegiance.  We welcome players from other counties, but individuals must pay £6.25 each towards the £25 team entry fee.  Please note that teams with non county players cannot qualify for the knockout stage, and cannot represent the county in the Pachabo.
 
The top 2 teams will compete in a separate  knockout match to qualify for the final.  Teams can use a reserve pair of full county members (providing they have not played for another team )  to play in the knockout match so up to 6 players can play in total.  The knockout match has to be play by the end of April.  Captains can decide how to play the knockout match, either face to face or online.
