The Sim Pairs are run across the East District on the first Monday in November (though with prior agreement clubs may arrange to play on another night that week, ensuring due security of the hands to be played).
The principle of this competition is that pairs in clubs play “with a Scottish International Team of the past” where that team has done fairly well (this is an attempt to ensure that all participants achieve fairly good or good scores). Players then score up, using imps, as if they had played a team match.
The event is Butler scored over the field, but clubs can score their own heats in any way they please. A commentary on the hands (from a past Scotland International match) is issued at the close of play. Further details can be obtained from the convener.
Winners in clubs are based on these results. However, each club may choose to score the event in any way they wish on the night provided their detailed results are submitted for inclusion in the district wide results.
Please consult the "Guidelines for Running East District Events", and forward any necessary amendments for future reference to the Committee.
