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@bridgevictoria.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 often been ignored and will now be strictly 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Entry Fees paid to ANC Open or Mixed Butler!
Wednesdays at the VBC 6, 13, 20, 27 May
Fred Altman is remembered for being a member of Australia’s most successful team at the World Bridge Open Team Championships in partnership with Dr Ian McCance. He was also a stalwart member of the Victorian bridge community who represented Victoria with distinction at the national championships. This event consists of a series of matches in which at the start of each round, pairs are drawn to play other pairs who are doing about as well as them. You can “swiss” it – i.e. rise through the field after an easier than usual series of draws. (Of course, the opposite can occur as well.)
The winners (or if they are unavailable, then the highest placed pair amongst the top three who are interested) get their entry fees paid to all stages of the ANC Butler (open or mixed)
The entry fee is $20 per night (ie $80) as this is a State representation event
Location - Victorian Bridge Centre
