The Australia-wide Open Pairs is an event where clubs around the country play the same boards. The event is organised by Australian Bridge magazine. The club sessions are scored locally (as green masterpoint sessions) and then again nationally (for red masterpoints). The TBA session for this event was held on Wednesday 26 August.
The national scoring is now complete, with over 800 tables playing. You can see the national results here. From that website you can view the club summary and drill down to personalised results booklets for each player. A summary of the TBA results is below (note that our local session was played as a two winner movement):
