Page 2 - Essex/Herts Swiss Pairs

The Essex/Hertfordshire GP Swiss Congress

Today’s Swiss Pairs event comprises seven 7-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 opponents
are notified via your Bridgemate.

There is an interval for refreshments after four matches, with
free tea, coffee and soft drinks throughout.

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.
