The Winter Teams competition for 2024-25 

We have 10 pairs taking part in the competition this year.  That gives us 5 teams.  This means two matches per round, with one team sitting out.  We have tried to pair-up with suitable combinations, avoiding repeating combinations from previous years.

If you want to play matches earlier that’s fine but we aim to finish by March.  You may need to be flexible to avoid holidays etc.

The teams are:

Wildcards (T1): Rex & Michael A with Felicity & Ann
Contract Killers (T2): John & Iain with Tony & Pam
Dozy Doublers (T3): Andy & Tony with April & Mick
Double Trouble (T4): Richard W & Michael J with Andrew & Richard F
Rough Diamonds (T5) : Peter & Paddy with Brenig & Lee

The high-lighted name is the team captain 

The proposed playing sequence is:
Round 1 (Oct) - T2 v T5 & T3 v T4 (T1 bye)
Round 2 (Nov) - T3 v T1 & T4 v T5 (T2 bye)
Round 3 (Dec) - T4 v T2 & T5 v T1 (T3 bye)
Round 4 (Jan) - T5 v T3 & T1 v T2 (T4 bye)
Round 5 (Feb) - T1 v T4 & T2 v T3 (T5 bye)

Competition Rules

The competition would be run over several months on RealBridge.  Each team to play each month at a time to be arranged to suit both teams.

Each team will have a team captain who manages arrangements for their team members and co-ordinates with the other team captain of a match.  They will also liaise with the match organiser/director. 

Matches should avoid a clash with Abergavenny, Brecon and Crucywel events.  When the match date has been agreed we shall set up the session and send the RealBridge links to the captains.  Where required a director will be appointed for each match. 

Matches will be played over 20 boards, swapping at the half point, and scoring to be converted to Victory Points.  No master-points to be awarded. 

There will be a prize for the overall winning team!
