The Middlesex Congress Swiss Pairs

Today’s Swiss Pairs event comprises eight 6-board rounds,
and is scored on a current-round basis, i.e. your opponents
for each round are determined by your overall score at the
end of the round just completed. Your next-round
assignments are notified via your Bridgemate and
uploaded along with results to the Bridgemate app.

There is a 40-minute interval for refreshments after four
matches: a variety of sandwiches and snacks will be
available for purchase from 11.00am and during the
interval. Tea, coffee and biscuits are included in the entry
fee.

Each board is match-pointed across the field, and each
pair’s percentage for the seven boards is converted into
VPs using the scale below.

Level 4 systems may be employed. Green points at the
rate of 0.25 per match won and 0.13 per match drawn, plus
ranking points, will be direct-credited.
