2024 NSW State Wide Pairs

1-7 August 2024

In 2024 the NSW State Wide Pairs will run for one session only during the first week in August.

Hands are provided together with a booklet, which features brief commentary on each deal for perusal at the completion of the session. The event is then scored across all participating clubs and overall winners determined.

Cash prizes are presented, as well as gift vouchers from the Bridge Shop and certificates for the winners in each club. Prizes are also awarded in the restricted divisions of Under 25, Under 50 and Under 100 masterpoints (as at 30th June 2024).

2024 Results

There were 452 pairs competing this year, fractionally below the pre-pandemic maximum of 464.  The number of participating clubs was 26 – we lost a few but picked up some new ones.

Final positions of all pairs can be found by following the Overall Results link below. 
Results for each club can be found by following the Club Results link below.

Pairs can obtain a board-by-board breakdown of their results by accessing the scoring website https://australianbridge.com/nswba.php?event=2024SWP.  Note that when the event is matchpointed across the state, percentages and order of rank can vary quite considerably from those obtained when matchpointing involves only those pairs within a specific club.  A detailed explanation of this effect can be found in this article: State-Wide Pairs Scoring.

The winners had a big gap on the field, but less than 1% separated the next five pairs.  There are cash prizes for the top place-getters listed below:

First: Paul Lavings and Helen Lavings (Illawarra Bridge Association) 73.33%
