Special Competitions

IMPS Pairs League, Swiss Pairs League, Saturday Teams League and a Handicap Knockout Pairs await those of you who wish to play in events that last several months. These events are firm favorites with some of our top players and spectating them can be a real treat.

Ratings

Most of our rooms are rated and players are graded into Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts and Spades. The English Bridge Union ranking scheme is based on our system.

Simple Discloure System

An 'SSD' (Simple Disclosure System) is a way of quickly defining a short convention card with a player. Each SSD that you create is stored for ease of use next time you meet the player.

Master Points

Many of our tournaments qualify for the English Bridge Union's Local Points. The DIDO tournament is a special event for which, following EBU - BCL discussion, Paragraph 3.1.5 of the Master Point Handbook was specifically composed.
