Notes on Buchanan Club
Competitions
The Winter Pairs
competition is
a match-pointed Club Pairs event played over 7 rounds from September
until March. The best 4 scores will determine the winner of
the
Peter Duff Trophy. Players must play with the same partner
throughout the competition.
The Winter Teams
is a series of
7 "stand alone" Teams-of-Four events. Prizes will be awarded
for
each round, but there will not be any overall winner from the series.
The Manning Foster
competition
is the Club’s Teams-of-Four championship, played on the basis
of
a qualifying round (and if necessary a Quarter Final) followed by
Semi-Final and Final.
The Men’s and
Women’s Handicapped Pairs competitions are for
the Dave Jolley Cup and the Currie Glen Trophy respectively.
The Chris Harrison
competition
is a pivot Teams-of-Four event. Each player plays a
number
of boards with each other member of the team.
Leading players in the Club’s main competitions will be
invited to play for the Carl
Dickel Trophy, a one-round match-pointed pairs tournament.
The Summer Pairs
is a
match-pointed tournament played on Tuesday evenings from May to
August. The best 7 scores determine the winner of the Jim
O’Leary Cup. For "expert" players, only the first 3
results
with any one partner will count.
The J K McDonald Trophy
is the Club’s individual tournament.
The Westchester Cup
is a Teams-of-Four competition.
The Nancy Barr Trophy is
a match-pointed mixed pairs tournament.
The Helen Clarkson Cup
is a match-pointed pairs tournament.
The Dunmow Flitch
is a match-pointed married couples tournament.
The James Clarkson Cup
is awarded to the most successful player in the Wednesday tournaments
in a calendar year.
Expert Players
Some club events have special rules for expert
players. For example, expert players are
not permitted to
play in club No
Fear competitions and special rules apply in the
Summer Pairs. A player who plays in a 1st or 2nd Division
team, or
whose Master Point rank is Scottish Master (or above) is deemed to be
an expert
player in this context.
