Result of the PartnerSwap Tournament - 2011/12

There was a healthy interest in the tournament this year with ten pairs entered.

Games were played to 21 points with no setting. Points scored by a pair in any single game were awarded to both players of the pair, and the total points scored over all of the rounds were accumulated to give each player an individual score. By the very nature of the tournament, players and their original partners played in totally different matches, so would not expect to attain the same scores. Only after every match had been played was the hidden handicap added to give a total score.

The men were reasonably even, with only David Clarke from Crewkerne Hermitage perhaps slight over-handicapped. He ended up well clear of the rest with Francis Chudley in 2nd.

The ladies were also very closely matched apart from two, Nili Lau and Babs Bugden. They ended up a long way clear of the rest, but equal with each other, so were awarded joint 1st prize.
