| HIWCBA Pottage Cup Rules - see the Red book guide to HIW Bridge |
An amended version of the Red-Book ifor the pottage cup is shown below
· No entry fee is required to be paid to HIWCBA and the event is open to all who play in the heat.
· Heats must be a minimum of six pairs (including those not in the Pottage). At least 18 boards must be played. (Sitting out boards count within this total.) All affiliated clubs may run a heat.
· Pairs will be assumed to be competing to qualify for the Pottage semi-final, unless they declare otherwise, or have already competed in a qualifying heat. Pairs are only allowed to nominate a single qualifying heat but are allowed to play (as non-competitors) in other heats if they are present at another club where a heat is being run.
· Any competing pair with a score of 50% or more will qualify for the semi-final. Only EBU members may play in the semi-final. No substitutes can be made for players who are unable to make the semi-final.
· The semi-final will have an overall qualifying list. (If it is played in two or more sections then the scoring will be across the field.) It will be at least 24 boards. If any qualifying pair is unable to compete in the final their place will be taken by the next ranked pair. (If there is a tie the standard EBU tie splitting policy will be used.)
·The final will comprise 16 pairs and 45 boards will be played using a movement that ensures an all play all format.
Master Points will be awarded on the Club Scale for heats, Regional Scale for the semi-final, and a scale to include Green Points in the final (dependent on number of semi-finalists).
