Confused by Arrow Switches?
A Mitchell pairs movement is effectively two separate competitions - between those playing NS and between those playing EW. To get a single winner as in Matchpoint Mondays we need to arrow switch one or more rounds.
You should enter the scores into the Bridgemate according to your new position, not your old one.

Tuesday Evening No Fear Tournament
This is a very popular tournament with predealt hands and an accompanying sheet. It is an aggregate tournament, with usually about 24 boards and there is always a standby - so you do not need a partner. All members (below 1st and 2nd Division),  Associates and Temporary Members welcome.
