A score that was incorrectly entered into the Bridgemate was drawn to our attention after the event,  it has now been corrected. This has changed the final order of the  teams, second and third swapping  places, fourth and fifth swapping  places. The revised scores are now posted (click on Results).

LMBA apologises for the delay in the result of this event being uploaded correctly on this website.
The difficulty has arisen because the Teamscorer program used on the night seems reluctunt to display the results as a teams-of-eight rather than two separate
teams-of-four! Please note that the positions that were shown on Friday on this website were incorrect, as they reflected the scores only of half of each team. The
correct order is as now shown. Thank you for your patience with this!
