Victorian Bridge Centre

A club RED POINT named after Elizabeth Sawicki, one of the top Victorian Women’s players and a very generous supporter of the club.  She died tragically on July 14, 1997, when representing Australia in Israel when the Maccabiah bridge collapsed.  She is very fondly remembered by many players.

A 3 week VBC club event held online on Real Bridge. Open to all (Visitors Welcome).  Commences each night at 7:30pm.  Players are requested to be seated by 7:15pm.

The format is Swiss Teams

Substitutes

Players are reminded of their obligation under the Bridge VictoriaTournament Regulations (clause 4 page 6) (link here) to notify the  Match & Tournament Committee MTC@vba.asn.au  of the need to use a substitute. This notification should be made as soon as you are aware of the need for a substitute. This policy has been ignored quite frequently lately and will now be enforced.  Failure to notify will automatically incur a scoring penalty and if the substitution is deemed unsuitable it may result in disqualification.

You are also required to find a substitute of a similar ability.  Substitutes deemed overweight will automatically receive penalties as prescribed under the Regulations.
