Last year the Ted Chadwick Restricted Pairs made its successful debut at the Sydney Spring Nationals.  This year we would like to offer a new event exclusively for all those players with fewer than 100 Masterpoints.  It will be called the Novice Swiss Pairs.  All players in this category are invited to come and enjoy the buzz of a National Event.  You can earn GOLD Masterpoints, while playing against opponents of similar experience.  We need an entry of 24 pairs (12 tables) for the Novice Pairs be a separate event to the Restricted Pairs, so get your entries in and encourage your friends to come with you.  Click HERE to see the website, and online entry facility.
