Simultaneous Pairs
What do I have to do to organise a Sim Pairs ?
All you need to do is to email Anna and tell her:
| Which Day you want to play (there are usually different hands each day so you can play as many of the five heats as you want) | ||
| The name of your club | ||
| Country | ||
| Your contact details | Your (name and email address and the email address for anyone different who would need to receive the deal files if you have a dealing machine | |
You will need to know how to send in donations for the charity events (it is different from the other sims)
It is actually very simple - it is very like a normal club night with a few enhancements! We aim to make it as easy as we can for you, and provided you follow a few simple rules as you go along there really is nothing to worry about.
So where do you start - you start by deciding which event you want to run.
So - you have "named the day". Now you need to email us and let us know that you want to run it .. if it is an event run by a different organisation we will pass the email on to the relevant person.
It's as easy as that. Now you need to get going and advertise the event to your members, and perhaps let other clubs in the area know you are running it if you want to include visitors on the night.
Please note that the general regulations follow the EBU regulations, and we request that you have a minimum of 3 tables in play, and that each player plays at least 18 boards.
The major rule (my own personal one, nothing official) is ... whatever happens, DON'T PANIC! We are always here to help and in nearly 24 years of running anything up to 25 Simultaneous Pairs a year - that's about 600 of them ! - I have only once had a heat that we really couldn't score.
Do email Anna if you have any further queries! She is here to help.
