Congratulations to the Winners at Hamilton 2024


Swiss Pairs and Teams were the popular formats at the 2024 Hamilton Congress. 26 Teams took part in the 10A Open which is the largest number the Hamilton Club has seen for several years. From there the numbers were all down hill through the other 3 events to a disappointing number in the Restricted Open pairs. Maybe players were after the "A points" as players who regularly play at Hamilton are away in South America resulting a slightly easier path to the points ?

Thanks to all who played over the weekend and making it good for bridge....
