Bridge Victoria

A NEW CONTEST FOR THIS YEAR BROKEN INTO FOUR INDIVIDUAL EVENTS

There are four separate events as follows each played on RealBridge (online) for metro and country players.

Early April Matchpoint Challenge on Wednesday 9th April 2025

Late April Matchpoint Challenge on Wednesday 30th April 2025

August Matchpoint Challenge on Wednesday 13th August 2025

October Matchpoint Challenge on Wednesday 22nd October 2025

RED masterpoints are awarded on each of the four nights. The format is matchpoint pairs.

At the end of the night, masterpoints will be issued. The names of every pair that entered on the night will be put into a ‘hat’.

A pair may play in only one event or all four or any other combination they wish.

The advantages of playing more than once are that the names of the pair will appear in the ‘hat’ each time they play regardless of their finishing position for a random prize at the end and they have more chance of improving their matchpoint score for the overall highest score prize.

NOTE: a person could play with a different partner each time if they so wish.

After the final (fourth challenge in October), there will be two prizes offered.

One prize will be the pair that attained the overall highest matchpoint score from any of the four events.

The other prize will be the names of a pair that will be randomly drawn from the ‘hat’.

In each case, the two successful participants will be notified by email.

If they wish, they will be eligible to play in an event with Chris Hughes and David Beckett as partners or team mates.

In other words, the winners have their choice, if they wish to take up the offer

1.     Play in a team event as a pair with Chris and David being the other pair

2.    Play in a team event where one of the pair plays with Chris and the other plays with David

3.    Play in a pairs event where one of the pair plays with Chris and the other plays with David

This can be at a congress or a local club event.

We encourage metro and country players of all standards and play on this exciting online platform - RealBridge
