NEW - FRIDAY LADDER

Aims

This pairs competition is designed to allow players to have an opportunity to play in a field that is more balanced towards their ability. There will be two trophies one for the ladder winners and one for the pair that has performed the best relative to their NGS.

Format

There will be two divisions. The 1^st division will have 10 pairs, and all subsequent pairs are in 2^nd division. The top 2 pairs from division 2 will be promoted and bottom 2 pairs in the 1^st division will be relegated each month. 

There are 10 rounds from October to July. Your top 8 scores are taken, but please see substitute rules below.

Points will be awarded for both position and additionally for scores over 60%.

Substitutes

Substitutes are allowed.

There is no penalty for a substitute, but only 2 substitute results will count within the final 8 scores. Therefore, the first 6 scores must come from the partnership, the other two scores are the best from the remaining 4.

Points

1^st Division – 20 for 1^st then down by 2 points per position, to 2 for last.

2^nd Division – 18 for 1^st then down by 2 points per position. The points may be spread further if fewer than 5 tables. If more than 10 pairs then 11^th downwards will receive no points.

Additional points will be awarded as follows: 

60%- 64.99% - 1 point

65% - 69.99% - 2 points

70% - 74.99% - 3 points

75% - 79.99% - 4 points

80% + - 5 points

Only the top 8 scores count. So, if a pair play 10 rounds their lowest 2 scores are taken off.

NGS – The top 10 NGS scoring pairs from on the ladder night will receive points. 10 points for 1^st down by 1 per place with 10^th getting 1 point.  Only the best 8 scores count.

Donated in recognition of the efforts of Mike Hampton in ensuring that the club was able to continue during the lockdowns of 2020-22.  Mike was a longstanding Match Captain for the Club, and when the government introduced lockdown and quarantine controls he ensured that the Club was able to transition effectively to an on-line environment.  He established the processes and policies necessary for this to happen and enabled members to continue playing bridge in very troubled times.

The Shield is awarded to the member achieving the highest aggregate score in matchpoint pairs events over the year, once results have been adjusted for handicaps.

Handicaps are calculated on the performance of each player in a pair over the prior 12 months in Club matchpoint pairs events.  The average of the pair's handicaps is then applied to the result on the night.  Non-members are allowed to participate. Anyone (member or non-member) who has played fewer than three times over the prior 12 months will have a large handicap applied to their result.

Once handicaps have been applied, the leading six pairs are awarded points - 10, 7, 5, 3, 2, 1.  The winner of the shield is the member who has the highest aggregate number of points over the year. 

Holders:

2023/2024: Bob Kendall

Donated by Fred Jackson in 1981 on his retirement as Chairman.  Fred was the husband of Petra Jackson. Awarded to the member achieving the highest aggregate score in the pairs events played on the first Wednesday in each month. Players only score on the FIRST occasion they play with a particular partner , but NOT if they play with a visitor. Scoring is 5,4,3,2,1 in a Howell movement (or single winner movement) and in each direction in a Mitchell movement (or two winner movement). The points are shared if there are equal scores. If one of the scores does not count, the scores are not reallocated.
