Latest news, how to enter, past winners and anything else of interest about the competitions that we run in the East District.

Gold Silver Bronze prizes

Ranked Awards

We are particularly keen to encourage more Bronze and Silver players, which allows us to offer generous prizes in these categories as well as for the overall winners.

Our events can be fun, provide great experience and no matter how tough the field is, you DO have every chance of winning your ranked category since you're only competing with similarly ranking players to yourself!

General Eligibility

Anyone entering ED competitions needs to be a member of the SBU and should quote their MP number (as of now this is also their membership number).

Ranks

A list of current player bands (including MP numbers) can be found here for quick reference by conveners. It is updated monthly.

How the Ranks work

As a guideline, for PAIRS events, your ranking will be based on the HIGHER ranked player.

For East District TEAMS events, your ranking will be based on the SECOND HIGHEST ranked player in your team (yes, the top ranked player could even be a Grand Master!)

Any further questions about the event itself - please contact the relevant convener.

* The convener has full authority to determine the category for each participant, should there be any confusion or doubt!
