The Manly Leagues Bridge Club is continuing the Handicap Pairs that it trialled successfully in 2009.  Prize vouchers are given to the two pairs that have the largest positive ratings impact - indicating the pairs that had the best session relative to their past performance. Partnerships with a player that has not played often enough or recently enough in a club that participates in the Australian Ratings scheme (such as Manly Leagues, Trumps, North Shore) to calculate a reliable rating will see a N/R (Not Rated) result. See the Ratings scheme website for further information about the scheme and your individual rating.

Note that masterpoint awards are based on the non-handicapped results and are unaffected.

The Manly Leagues Bridge Club 2010 Addison Trophy, Gower Trophy and President's Cup Championships each run for ten sessions through February to November on our Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday sessions respectively. The best eight percentage scores count with at least six having to be with the same partner. These championships are a great test of consistency - and reward the successful pairs with outright masterpoints as well as outright cash prizes, in addition to the normal session masterpoints and prizes. The Championships are normally played on the first session in each month but see the Club Championships flyer (or calendar) for the specific dates and other details.
