For the first time, the NIBU online leagues are open to entries from teams throughout Ireland.
The Open (referred to as “Senior” although there are no age restrictions) League will be played on RealBridge, and the Intermediate League on BBO. The exact format will be determined when all the entries have been received, but the intention is that all matches in a given round will be played on a single midweek evening.
You’ll find full details, including the costs, and an entry form here (Open League) and here (Intermediate League). The closing date for entry is 24 September in each case.
Please support these leagues if you can. An influx of CBAI teams will make for a more attractive competition for all, and will provide much-needed funds for the NIBU.
We’re pleased to present the third (“Summer”, although as the editor points out, that may be something of a misnomer given our recent weather) edition of the Irish Bridge Journal. We hope you’ll enjoy it. As ever, any feedback is welcome. In particular, if you can think of an interesting topic, and would be prepared to contribute an article, we’d be delighted to hear from you!
