Tassie Board-a-Match Teams 2025
The 2025 Tassie Board-a-Match Teams was held at the TBA on the weekend of 14-15 June. Board-a-Match scoring is simple. It is essentially matchpoint scoring with each board being played twice within a match. If you score better than your opponents at the other table you get 2 points for the board (they get none). If the scores are equal you each get 1 point. If the opponents get a better score you get no points (they get 2). No mucking around with IMPs or VP tables! Some people believe Board-a-Match teams is the purest form of the game.
Six teams (including a couple of fly-in celebrities) competed in a round robin of 24 board matches. The winners were the Lloyd team (Tania Lloyd, Hugh Grosvenor, Sandra & Andrew Richman). Second place went to the Gibbs team (Maria Gibbs, Pam Murphy, Phil Timmins, Duncan Abercromby). Full results are here.
Thanks to Simon for organising and directing the event.
