Summer Swiss Pairs 20th July

posted 6 Jul 2016, 03:38 by Colin Sills [ updated 6 Jul 2016, 08:07 ]

The inaugural Summer Swiss Pairs will be held at Chesterton (St Andrew's Hall) on Wednesday 20 July.

The event will be organised as a single-session swiss pairs format.

There is no need to pre-register - just turn up as a pair and you will be able to play.

The event will be 'hosted' by Jenny & Terry, in order to ensure an even number of pairs. If there is a half-table (odd number of pairs), they will go home. Note that this means that single players (ie without a partner) are not guaranteed a game. Thank you to Jenny & Terry for offering this service!
