EBU Pay to Play (P2P).

Please note, the EBU P2P does not operate in the ImproversPlus Class and hence Master Points cannot be issued for these sessions.  This is primarily due to the fact students may ask for help with the bidding or leads during play.

(The only exception to this is an Improvers Competition Night, when there is no help on the bidding or play)

P2P always operates in the main Bridge sections, and if you play in any of these your name will be automatically added to the EBU P2P upload.  This means Master Points are awarded and credits for play are issued to enable you to receive the EBU Bridge magazine. See http://www.ebu.co.uk/pay2play/magazine%20points.pdf for more details.

<Please note the rules regarding free game tickets>

Pairs who win an event may be awarded free game tickets, which may be used in either the ImproversPlus section or the Main Bridge room. If a pair has won, then they will not be eligible for a free game ticket for the next 4 sessions.  In this event, the free game tickets will be awarded to the next eligible pair.
