Tournament Information
The NSWBA has regular sessions at their premises.
There are a variety of games offered to cater for all standards. If you wish to
inquire about the most suitable game or are looking for a partner then
contact the office.
As well as these games, there are a number of congress and championship events
that are held throughout the year. The dates of these events are available on
the Calendar.
Selected results will be posted.
Masterpoints are awarded at every session of bridge at the NSWBA. In addition,
any multi-session event attracts an outright award. Awards are made to the top
half of the field in all pairs events. The greater the number of sessions and
tables in an event, the greater the number of masterpoints awarded.
Normal red point sessions have a weighting factor of 2.5. State Championships
(generally Monday night, Wednesday night, Tuesday daytime or week-ends)
receive red masterpoints with a weighting factor of 5.0. All sessions in the
Grand National Open Teams (GNOT) and Grand National Pairs (GNP) receive Gold
Masterpoints.

Eclectic events are multi-session events in which you do not need to play every
session. If you do play more than the minimum number of sessions, then only
your best scores are counted. Eclectic events attract higher masterpoint awards
than single session events.

Tuesday morning sessions award red masterpoints at Grade B or B4 and are
generally part of a multi-session event.

All other regular walk-in duplicate sessions are conducted as part of a monthly
eclectic singles event. Your best 3 out of 4 scores (or 4 out of 5) with any
partner(s) of your choice are used to calculate each month's winning players.
The top five place-getters in each monthly competition will be invited to
compete in the NSWBA Club Duplicate Championship to be held in conjunction with
the Christmas Party Pairs on Sunday 14th December.
