There is a new tournament of 18 boards on BBO starting next Tuesday, the 20th October, starting at 7 pm with a fee of 2.00 BB$ per person.

Members who want to take part will need to send their BBO names to the club secretary, Fumi, so that their names are registered as being eligible to enter the tournament.

The results of all club tournaments played on BBO are now on the Results page.

Note that if there are untranslated BBO names among the players, they will be substitutes drafted in to make up numbers and not members of the SBU.

For the 2020-2021 season this will be played online as cumulative match pointed pairs. Every Wednesday evening at 7 pm in the SBU_N_DIST Virtual Club on BBO for 14 weeks.

Starting Wednesday 16th September and finishing Wednesday 16th December. The best 10 scores will count towards the final ranking.

No substitutes – only scores for the same partnership will count.

The overall winner will be awarded the MacPhee Trophy.

The top two pairs will be eligible to play in the Spence Cup.

If anyone would like to play but needs help learning to play on BBO please get in touch and I will be very happy to talk you through the process.

Best wishes,

SBU NORTH DISTRICT ON-LINE TEAMS COMPETITION 2020-2021 SEASON

The SBU North District proposes to run an inter-club, on-line teams’ event and would like to invite all clubs in the North District to submit entries. The event will be run on the BBO platform and will be eligible for SBU Master Points. A nominal entry fee, still to be decided but not exceeding £10/team, may be charged to cover the cost of Master Points. No match fees are payable, as the event will run on the Free Section of BBO.

This event replaces the District Teams of 4 and the District League Teams of 8 for the 2020-21 season.

The rules for the competition together with instructions on how to set up a teams’ event on BBO will be posted on the SBU North District website (https://www.sbunorth.co.uk/). Depending on the number of entries, we propose to split the competition into 2 or possibly even 3 divisions, with teams playing 4-8 matches. Team captains will be responsible for agreeing dates and times and for setting up the match and for communicating results to the convenor.

Entries, to include club and team name, captains name and contact details and the names of the players in the team, should be sent to the Convenor (Alisdair McLeod – e-mail: alisdair.mcleod@btinternet.com) by Friday 11th September 2020 latest.
