RULES FOR COMPETITIONS WITH HEATS HELD IN CLUBS 2007/08
It is hoped that ALL Clubs will hold
qualifying rounds for the Gazette Cups, the Chronicle
Cups,
the Kempson Vases and the Summer
Pairs Competitions.
Should a Club cancel/postpone a Heat it
is essential that any changes are passed on to
all interested parties via the
Tournament Secretary.
1. Qualifying
Heats should take place on a club night, before the
closing date specified below, and all players present on
the night will take part. Non NEBA Members are permitted
to play in the heats,
but only NEBA Members can play in the
Finals.
2.
Club heats must be played before the
following closing dates:
Gazette Cups & Shield
28th September 2007
Chronicle Cups & St Georges Shield
21st December 2007
Kempson Vases
29th March 2008
Summer Pairs
30th May 2008
3. Clubs
should charge their normal Table Money but should remit
25p.per
player
(£1 per table) as entry fees to the Association (payable
to NEBA and sent to the Tournament Secretary) together
with a copy of the Heat results.
4. Clubs
are responsible for the Issue of Master Points at Basic
Scale and for the cost of the Certificates.
5. It
is probable that some players or pairs will take part in
more than one heat. This is entirely permissible, but
the following Rules will apply: -
(a) The qualifying ratio for the
Chronicle Cups in
1 pair for every 4 pairs
playing and for the other 3 Competitions
1 pair or team for every 5 pairs
or teams
playing. Clubs will be permitted to go down the ranking
list to the pair or team which finished in a position
equal to
twice
the number qualifiers
and
had a score of at least
50%.
(b) Some players may qualify more than
once and in such cases: -
(i)
Priority in qualification should
be given to that attained at their own Club.
(ii) If
that does not apply then priority should be given to the
earliest Heat.
(iii) Any
player playing with more than one partner may choose
which partner to play with in the next round.
6. Qualifiers
for the Gazette Cups, Kempson Vases and Summer Pairs
will play in the Final.
For the Chronicle Cups there will be, at
least, 3 semi-finals and from the
Combined
semi-finals, the. top
14
pairs will play in the Chronicle Cup Final & Green
Points will be awarded. The next 24 pairs will play for
the St. Georges’ Shield. Green Points will be awarded to
top 3 places with LPs to the remaining top 3rd.
of the field. Both Finals will be played on the same
date at the same venue.
7. In
Pairs
events
NO
substitutes are permitted.
In the
Teams Event
“One substitute only will be allowed in
the Kempson Vases competition regardless of whether or
not they have played to qualify in a Heat.”
Details of the Heats and the Entry Fees
should be sent to the Tournament Secretary as soon as
possible after your Club Heat and certainly within 3
working days of the last date for Heats.
For the Gazette Cups, Kempson Vases and
Summer Pairs you will be sent details of the Final
shortly after receiving your Heat Entry has been
received.
For the Chronicle Cups, if it should be
necessary to add a fourth semi-final, details of the
semi-finals which you receive may need to be changed.
Level 4 Conventions will be allowed at all stages of
these Competitions.

Secretary)
