Oxfordshire changed the format in 2024 which generated significantly more entries and interest (75 pairs competed). Any club pairs duplicate (20+ boards, not gentle duplicates or like) in the weeks commencing 17th November 2024 , 1st December 2024 or 5th January 2025 entitle pairs with 50% or more to play in one of three County Pairs Semifinals. NOTE. Players must have primary membership Oxfordshire. Each player may only play in one Semifinal, so if a player qualifies twice can only enter once and if with two different partners, must choose which partner.

Click here to enter one of the semifinals, dates are Sunday 2nd February 2pm, Thursday 6th February 7pm, Monday 17th February 7pm (24-26 boards, MPs at National Scale, £4 per player, all on RealBridge). In proportion to players in each semifinal there will be a 10 table final on Sunday 16th March 2pm (38 boards, Green points awarded, £9 per player, again on RealBridge).  

There is an OBA on-line teams-of-four competition starting in January 2025. The competition will take place on the fourth Thursday of each month on Real Bridge starting at 19.00.

It is planned to run one competition between January - May 2025 and a second competition between July - November 2025. The Tournament Director for these sessions will be Patricia Hones.

It would be great to see as many teams as possible playing in this revamped competition. As well as teams representing clubs associated to OBA, teams can be made up of players from multiple clubs, and the team can be made up of different players each month. The vast majority of players would have an NGS of 8+. It will provide a good opportunity for players to practise ahead of Wessex League matches, or just to play against others from across the county. The results for each competition will be recorded in a ladder on the OBA website.

Matthew Covill at this point the names of CAPTAINS for each of the teams. Please sent to (matthewcovill@hotmail.com). The captain is then responsible for organising a team to play each month and paying the usual OBA table money on-line. The captain does not need to be available for every match, just to make sure a team is fielded. In essence this will involve entering the team each month on the OBA website.
