| Nationwide Pairs |
As detailed in the 2025 program notes, we are trialing Nationwide Pairs events in 2025.
Our first game was held on Friday 24 January 2025.
Green points are awarded at the club session, then the results are sent to the Nationwide Pairs website to be compared with the other clubs that participate.
The results have now been finalised for Nationwide Pairs 2.
18 pairs competed at MBC and 9 of those pairs received red master points when ranked with the 495 pairs who competed Nationwide.
Click on this link then select Overall Results and Event 2 to see the complete list.
Nationwide Pairs 3 will be held at MBC on Monday 3 February 2025.
This is not a special event and costs nothing extra to play, as MBC is subsidising the $1 per player fee for the events in 2025.
